Hull City form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Championship this season. Hull City have only managed 2 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses from their games here at KCOM Stadium.

The Hull goalkeeper Nathan Baxter is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 291 minutes without conceding a goal in the Championship.

Hull City are returning here after visiting Cardiff City in a Championship game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Keane Lewis-Potter scored the goal(s). Jacob Greaves was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.82 out of 10. The defender Greaves hit one key pass and won 13 of 18 duels.

Before that, Hull had a home game versus Birmingham City which ended with a victory 2-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hull City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost six.

Hull have scored 7 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Hull City have conceded 11 in these home matches.

Millwall form and stats

The visitors are W2-D5-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. With three draws in a row for Millwall the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.

Millwall played 1-1 against AFC Bournemouth in their previous match. Attacker Benik Afobe got a player rating of 7.41 in the game. "Man of the match" Afobe scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Middlesbrough.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Millwall playing away and similar expectations, we found 17 relevant matches. Results were five Millwall wins, six draws and six defeats.

The attacking power of Millwall when travelling is not overwhelming with 8 goals scored from 9 league matches away. Millwall have conceded 9 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the preceeding ten meetings featuring these two sides are: three wins for Hull, three draws and four wins for Millwall. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
