"Already hit with a pair of points deductions and sat rock-bottom of the Championship standings, Henrik Pedersen's men are in the midst of what has become an infamous nightmare. Last seen falling to a routine 3-1 defeat away at Ipswich, the Owls have registered just one-point from any of their previous seven consecutive Championship appearances - a rut that stems all the way back to a 1-1 stalemate against fellow relegation scrappers Norwich on November 5th."
"As for the visitors, while Hull might have only dragged themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Championship status, the Tigers have firmly cemented their spot as one of England's ultimate surprise packages this time around. Embarking on what has become a sensational fairytale at the MKM Stadium, Sergej Jakirovic's side are riding a major wave of momentum and should be excited by a Boxing Day trip to Hillsborough."
Sheffield Wednesday face deep troubles with public financial issues, multiple points deductions and relegation preparations, leaving them rock-bottom of the Championship. The Owls have managed only one point from their last seven league appearances and just a single victory from 21 Championship matches, while conceding 43 goals, the worst defensive record in the division. Hull City have transformed from a relegation scrap last season into a surprise promotion contender, sitting fourth and carrying momentum after three consecutive wins. The Tigers beat West Brom 1-0 most recently and can move close to the automatic promotion places with a Boxing Day victory at Hillsborough.
