This could be an interesting match as Hull City have their presumed home advantage while Fulham are ahead 3 points in the Championship table.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Hull City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Hull City have managed 6 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 13 games.

Hull City are returning here after visiting Rotherham United in a FA Cup game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. In the game before, an away victory in the Championship match versus Sheffield Wednesday with a 1-0 scoreline.

T. Eaves was absolutely essential when Hull City beat Rotherham United 3-2, scoring 3 goals.

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 14 games. Hull City has won 8 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Hull City have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at KCOM Stadium with 21 goals in 13 league matches. Hull City have conceded 16 in these home matches.

Fulham form and stats

As the visiting team in Championship matches, Fulham have produced an overall stat of 4-4-4 so far.

Fulham are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the FA Cup against Aston Villa. The game before that, in the Championship, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Reading.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fulham playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were 3 Fulham wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Fulham find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 15 goals from 12 away fixtures in the league. Fulham have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.
