Hull City are welcoming Middlesbrough for another important game after their 3-3 result against 17th-placed Birmingham City.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Hull City form and stats
The story so far in the Championship for Hull City at their home stadium (KCOM Stadium) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 11 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts. Hull are slowly digging their own grave here at KCOM Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the Birmingham City match.
Hull manager G. McCann and his team return home after a 3-3 draw away versus Birmingham City (placed 17th) in the Championship. Preceding that match was the home game against Charlton Athletic that was lost 0-1.
Opportunity lost for Hull City in the Birmingham City match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. A goal frenzy last time out for Hull, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Birmingham City. Fun stuff to watch!
