This match involves two participants residing in the carpet of the Championship, Hull City having 20th spot and Barnsley lying 24th. A decent chance for one of the participants to improve their position.

Insights:
  • Hull City have the most matches under the total-line (18) in Championship
  • Barnsley have the fewest scored goals (19) in Championship

It's no vacation for neither Hull City nor Barnsley as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Hull City form and stats

All-inclusive Championship stats at home this season for Hull City are 5-3-8 (wins-draws-losses). When Hull City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Hull City, Reading, Derby County, Swansea City and Peterborough United), they have won 2 of 4 matches! Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Hull City, their manager Arveladze and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

An away draw last time out for Hull, facing Queens Park Rangers in a game that ended 1-1. McLoughlin was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.24 out of 10. The defender McLoughlin won 11 of 14 duels.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Sheffield United the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hull City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won six times, drawn four and lost three.

The manager Arveladze will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Peterborough United in only four days.

Hull City have scored 15 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Hull City have conceded 18 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. Hull has at home met teams with this table position (low), four times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.

Barnsley form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Barnsley so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-12 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Barnsley have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 16 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Cardiff City game.

Two away games in a row for Barnsley, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Coventry City. Defender Helik was the best team player with a rating of 8.14. Helik won 5 of 9 duels.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Queens Park Rangers.

Barnsley are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, three draws and seven defeats. From a total of eleven matches.

After this away game Barnsley return home for a Championship game against Middlesbrough. That game is only four sleeps after this.

The attacking power of Barnsley when travelling is not overwhelming with 10 goals scored from 16 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Barnsley have conceded 29 goals in their away games.
