Hull City's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Blackburn Rovers (placed 2nd).
A strong away win before that one, visiting Rotherham United and winning 4-2.The manager Dawson will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Millwall in only four days.
Hull City have conceded 15 from these games.
Middlesbrough form and stats

Akpom scored one goal, hit one key pass and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).
Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Huddersfield Town.After this away game Middlesbrough return home for a Championship game against Bristol City. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Middlesbrough are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 8 games (in the league).
