Hull City form and stats

Three Championship home games done for Hull City, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Hull City, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Hull City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-3 versus Bristol City. Preceding that match was a defeat to Blackburn Rovers (0-1).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
