Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic insists the Tigers are "not afraid" of promotion rivals Ipswich Town heading into Tuesday's key Championship trip to Portman Road. "I'm not afraid of Ipswich," Jakirovic told BBC Radio Humberside. "It will be a very good game because already we have shown this season we can play good football against them. Hull City only stayed up in the second tier on the final day of the 2024-25 season courtesy of goal difference. "We missed him a lot because he gives us a lot of energy, a lot of challenges, second balls, and he's very important in set-pieces as well."
