Hull City form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Hull City, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Championship, have managed 4 wins, 0 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 8 games.
Happy days for Hull in their previous game, a fixture away at Rotherham United (placed 11th) that ended with a 4-2 victory. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Greaves was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.33 out of 10. The defender Greaves scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and won 9 of 17 duels.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Blackpool and winning 3-1.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 12 games. Hull City has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Hull, as the Championship home game vs Middlesbrough is only three days away.
