Hull City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hull City, who have the most conceded goals (84) in Championship, so far with only 21 points returning home. The records show 5-6-11 (win-draw-lose). It's looking increasingly bleak for Hull who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Middlesbrough was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Hull City are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Luton Town with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 0-8 defeat away at Wigan Athletic before that.

Hull City find the net regularly in their away games. 28 goals from 22 away fixtures in the league. Hull have conceded 47 goals in these games.
