Hull City predicted XI: Bold calls on Joe Gelhardt, John Lundstram and Mo Belloumi made for Millwall clash

Hull City are set for the first of two Championship play-off semi-final battles with Millwall.

The Tigers surged back into the top six on the final day of the regular season, defeating Norwich City 2-1 to end a run of six games without a win.

Millwall, meanwhile, missed out on automatic promotion and had to settle for third place. The Lions will visit the MKM Stadium tonight (May 8) before hosting the Tigers at The Den on Monday (May 11).

“This is a very, very big achievement,” said Hull boss Sergej Jakirović after last week’s win over Hull. “Especially in these circumstances, it’s not easy at all.

“Maybe we missed some opportunities earlier to reach more points. But this is the reason football is so interesting. I will call it sweet. At the end, it’s a big success for the whole club and all the people in the club. To achieve this in my first season is unbelievable for me.”

The other semi-final will be contested between Middlesbrough and Southampton, who will fight for the chance to face either Hull or Millwall at Wembley.
