This could be an interesting match as Hull City have their presumed home advantage while Preston North End are ahead 8 points in the Championship table.
It's no vacation for neither Hull City nor Preston North End as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hull City form and stats
Hull City have collected 11 points from their Championship home games so far after 3-2-4.
Hull City drew their last game, 2-2 away at Middlesbrough (placed 21st). Before that game, the home loss against West Bromwich Albion with the scoreline 0-1.
Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Middlesbrough last time out, but a goal from J. Bowen completed a comeback to a draw result for Hull City.
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 7 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.
The manager G. McCann will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Barnsley in only three days.
Hull City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. 13 goals have been conceded.
Preston North End form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Preston North End so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-4 (win-draw-lose).
Preston North End play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-1 to Derby County (placed 11th). That result followed a home victory 3-1 versus Huddersfield Town.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Preston North End in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Preston North End, 1 draw and 6 defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Preston North End as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Preston North End have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 4 wins for Hull City, 2 draws and 4 wins for Preston North End. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.Top Goalscorers
