Hull City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Hull City have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 6 defeats from 14 games. Two home wins in a row for Hull City bring valid hopes of a third.

Hull City are confident in defense, having played 310 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

Hull City's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Swansea City (placed 19th). The home side are looking to build on that result. The goalie Baxter was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 7.85 out of ten. Baxter topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that match, a win away at AFC Bournemouth.

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 13 games. Hull City has won five of these, drawn three and lost five.

The manager McCann will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Derby County in only three days.

The Hull fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. On the other hand, Hull City have conceded 16 goals.
