Hull v Norwich City: play-off push meets late charge | OneFootball

Hull City host Norwich City in the Championship on Saturday, 2 May 2026 in Hull, with both sides chasing the play-offs.

Hull City are seventh on 70 points, with Norwich City ninth on 65. They won 2-0 in November's reverse fixture.

Hull have taken three draws and two defeats from their last five league games. The Canaries arrive with three wins in that span, plus a draw and one defeat, hinting at stronger momentum.

Hull are without Amir Hadziahmetovic, David Babajide, Eliot Matazo, Cody Drameh and Toby Collyer. The Canaries list Mirko Topić, Benjamin Chrisene, Matej Jurasek, Ante Crnac, Jovon Makama, Oscar Schwartau, Gabriel Forsyth, Harry Amass and Papa Diallo as absentees, with Makama among the division's 10-goal scorers.

Hull have scored 68 league goals, delivering 579 open-play crosses at 21.07% accuracy, with Ryan Giles on eight assists and forwards Oliver McBurnie and Joe Gelhardt on 15 and 14 goals respectively. Norwich tend to control possession at 53% with 79.90% pass completion, and have produced 405 shots. The game could hinge on Hull's delivery from wide areas against the Canaries' ball retention.

A win would move Hull to 73 points and could carry them into the play-off places. Victory for the Canaries would take them to 68 points and could also pull them into the play-off picture depending on other results.
