Hull City form and stats

Hull City have only played one game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 11 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats from 23 matches.

Hull City drew their last game, 1-1 away at Brentford. Before that match, a Carabao Cup win away at Tranmere Rovers.

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 nine games. Hull City has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Hull City, as the Championship home game vs Bristol City is only four days away.

At KCOM Stadium, Hull City has the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 fixture.

Blackburn Rovers form and stats

Blackburn Rovers have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats were 6 victories, 5 draws and 12 defeats from 23 fixtures.

Blackburn Rovers won their last game, 1-0 versus Middlesbrough played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 3-2 against Oldham Athletic in the Carabao Cup.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found seven similar matches played by Blackburn Rovers in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Blackburn Rovers, 1 draw and 3 defeats.

After this away game Blackburn Rovers return home for a Championship game against Cardiff City. That game is only four sleeps after this.

0 goals so far away for Blackburn Rovers, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 match.
