Player to watch – Abu Kamara
With top scorer Joao Pedro suspended, Hull are not exactly blessed with many remaining goal threats. With three goals and three assists in 26 Championship appearances for the club so far, Abu Kamara could be one of their main attacking outlets.
Kamara on song at home
All of Kamara’s Hull goals have come at home since the turn of the year. He has scored 43% of his team’s home league total in 2025.
