Hull City form and stats

Hull City have played 15 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-7 (wins-draws-losses). With Hull City having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager G. McCann. Hull City has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager G. McCann and the players.

The Hull City fans got no joy from their last match, a Championship game also here at KCOM Stadium: A 1-2 defeat against Huddersfield Town (placed 19th). Ahead of that match, Hull City lost 1-2 at home to Chelsea.

The defeat against Huddersfield Town was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored five minutes into stoppage time (by S. Mounie).
