Hull City will invite Southampton to the MKM stadium in the EFL championship on Saturday. So far, the two teams have only recorded one victory in the league and are separated by a single point in the League classification.
Hull finished his liggery sequence after two games when they were held in a 2-2 draw by Swansea City in their first game since the international break. Oli McBurnie scored in the 45th minute and John Egan added an equalizer of downtime.
The visitors saw their sequence without victory in the league extend to four games last week, playing a relentless draw against Portsmouth. They failed to score for the first time in all competitions this season and will seek to come back to goals.

Hull City vs Southampton prediction
The tigers are without victory in their last three games, conceding nine goals, and will seek to improve this record. They have lost four of their last five home games in this match, not having scored in three.
Semi Ajayi and Matt Crooks are sidelined with injuries, while Liam Millar faces a race against time to prove his physical shape. Mohamed Belloumi is expected to come back after a long period of injury.
The saints have lost only one of their seven competitive games this season, this defeat recorded at home last month. They scored five goals in their last two outside games in all competitions and will seek to rely on this form.
Cameron Archer and Wellington are confirmed by visitors, while Flynn Downes is a doubt.
Visitors have a good recent record in this match, and considering the bad defensive form of Hull, we support the saints to win a narrow victory.
