The Championship Play-Off final between Hull City and Middlesbrough is set against a backdrop of controversy following the 'Spygate' scandal, which saw Southampton expelled from the play-offs. Middlesbrough, reinstated as a contender, is the bookmakers' favorite at odds of 3/4. Hull City, on the other hand, is seen as the underdog at 3/1. Both teams have struggled with injuries, with Hull potentially missing key players like Cody Drameh and Amir Hadziahmetovic. Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney is back in training but will undergo a late fitness test. Historically, both teams have shown a tendency for draws, with Hull having shared points in five of their last nine matches and Middlesbrough in six of their last eleven. Given their recent form, a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes seems likely, with the possibility of penalties to decide the match. This final is anticipated to be one of the most significant games in many players' careers.
