Play-Off Race Breakdown: Why 75 Points SHOULD Be Enough for Hull City

[Admin]

Alright lads, let’s break this down properly because things are getting VERY interesting now


Current situation:
Hull sitting on 68 points with 5 games to go.


We’ve done the maths, checked the fixtures, and looked at rivals...


75 points is the magic number.

Why 75 Points Is Enough​

In tight Championship seasons like this:

• 6th place usually lands around 70–73 points
• This season is slightly higher due to competition
• So realistically:
  74–75 points = safe play-off spot

---

Rivals Are Killing Each Other​

This is KEY.

• Wrexham vs Southampton
• Ipswich vs Middlesbrough
• Southampton vs Ipswich

These teams will drop points against each other


That means:Not everyone can reach 75+

Hull’s Remaining Fixtures​

Let’s be honest…


We’ve got one of the easier run-ins

• Sheffield United (A) – tough but doable
• Birmingham (H) – MUST win
• Leicester (A) – bonus game
• Charlton (A) – MUST win
• Norwich (H) – could be decisive

---

The Target​

We need:

• 2 wins + 1 draw = 75 points
  OR
• 3 wins = job done

---

The Two Must-Win Games​

No excuses:

• Birmingham (H)
• Charlton (A)

Win these and we’re basically there.

---

Reality Check​

• We don’t play direct rivals
• They DO play each other
• Pressure is on THEM, not us

This is in our hands now.

---

Final Thoughts​

If we hit 75 points:


I’d say 90% chance we make the play-offs


Now it’s simple…


Win the games we should win.
