Hull City form and stats

Hull City's struggle is real here at KCOM Stadium with only 18 points collected from 19 Championship games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 5-3-11. It's been an uphill battle for Hull in their home games for quite some time now, as five matches in a row are lost here.

The Hull City crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-3 to Luton Town here at KCOM Stadium. The striker Eaves edged out all others in that game and managed a match rating of 7.41 out of 10. Eaves scored one goal.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Coventry City and winning 2-0.

Hull have scored 16 league goals here from 19 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.
