Manager Steve Bruce is currently guiding Hull City in the club’s first experience in Europe.
Last week, in the Europa League play-offs first leg, the Tigers went down 1-0 to Lokeren in Belgium but they did well enough to suggest they can turn things around at the KC Stadium this evening.
Hull qualified to play on the continent last season after finishing as losing finalists to Arsenal in the FA Cup.
In the second qualifying round, Hull eliminated Slovakia’s Trencin after beating them 2-1 at home following a scoreless draw away.
