This duo has had problems getting enough points so far, but three points in this crucial fixture would certainly help. Let's hear it for Bristol City - Hull City!

Insights:
  • Bristol City have the most dropped points from leading position (35) in Championship
  • Hull City have the fewest dropped points from leading position (7) in Championship

Bristol are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Hull City most of the excitement is over as they will neither be promoted or relegated this season.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Bristol City form and stats

The complete Championship statistics playing at home this season for Bristol City are 7-8-7 (wins-draws-losses). When Bristol City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Barnsley, Reading, Derby County, Bristol City and Peterborough United), they have won 4 of 6 matches! Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Ashton Gate Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Bristol City.

A strong away win for Bristol against Derby County the last match, as Semenyo, Weimann and Klose were on target. The gifted forward Martin outshone all teammates in that fixture and got a match rating of 7.63 out of 10. Martin served one assist and hit three key passes.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Sheffield United that ended 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bristol City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Bristol City as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Bristol City has won four of these, drawn two and lost five.

Bristol City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 28 goals in 22 games. Bristol City have conceded 29 in these home matches.

Hull City form and stats

As the visiting team in Championship matches, Hull City have produced an overall stat of 7-5-10 so far.

Hull go into this game after a win, the home game against Reading that ended 3-0. Attacker Lewis-Potter got a player rating of 8.82 in the game. "Man of the match" Lewis-Potter scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

A 1-2 defeat away at Millwall before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hull City playing away and similar expectations, we found 13 relevant matches. Results were five Hull City wins, four draws and four defeats.

The visitors have scored 19 goals from 22 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (21 so far). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
