Hull City form and stats

4-0-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Hull City so far this season.

Hull lost their last game at Huddersfield Town (placed 23rd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Coyle was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.35 out of 10. The defender Coyle hit one key pass and won 6 of 11 duels.

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against Wigan Athletic.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hull City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hull City as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Hull City has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.

Hull are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Blackpool awaits in three days.

Hull City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games. Hull City have conceded 12 from these games.

Birmingham City form and stats

2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Birmingham City playing as the away team in the Championship this season.

Birmingham go into this game after a win, the home game against Bristol City that ended 3-0. That win felt sweet as this side had gone three league rounds without victory. Defender Trusty was the best team player with a rating of 8.11. Trusty scored two goals, hit the woodwork once and won 3 of 11 duels.

Prior to that match, the Birmingham City manager Eustace faced defeat when travelling to Middlesbrough and losing 0-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Birmingham City playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 2 Birmingham City wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Burnley in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Birmingham as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league.
