West Bromwich Albion v Hull: play-off push meets survival fight | OneFootball

West Bromwich Albion face Hull City in the Championship at The Hawthorns on Saturday, 14 March 2026, with the visitors chasing the play-offs and the hosts battling relegation.

Hull City won the reverse fixture 1-0 in December and sit fifth on 63 points, while West Bromwich Albion are 23rd with 37 as a survival bid meets a top-six charge.

West Bromwich Albion have drawn their last two league games, including 1-1 against Southampton, after defeats to Coventry City and Oxford United. Hull have won three of their last five, capped by a 2-1 victory at Wrexham, though home losses to Ipswich Town and Millwall checked their momentum.

West Bromwich Albion are without Krystian Bielik, Karlan Ahearne-Grant, Michael Johnston, Chris Mepham and Tammer Bany. Hull miss Akin Famewo, Ryan Giles, Eliot Matazo, Matty Jacobs, Darko Gyabi and Yu Hirakawa.

Albion average one goal per game and have delivered 577 open-play crosses with 18.72% accuracy, producing 10 headed goals, so wide service could be a route forward. Hull have scored 59 and post 55% shooting accuracy from 280 attempts, with Joe Gelhardt and Oliver McBurnie on 13 league goals each.

A home win would move West Bromwich Albion to 40 points and could lift them out of the relegation places. Victory for Hull would take them to 66 points and could strengthen, or even improve, their position inside the play-offs.
