With the edgy opening fixture finished it’s time for the second Championship clash of the season. Hull City look forward to welcoming Queens Park Rangers in front of their home following.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Hull City and Queens Park Rangers.

Hull City form and stats

Last season, Hull City's league statistics were 27 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses, resulting in a 1st position in the League One. Over these 46 matches they scored 80 goals and conceded 38. Playing at home last season Hull City managed 14-4-5 (win-draw-lost) with 32 goals and 14 conceded.

The spoils were shared in Hull's previous game, also at home. Visiting Wigan Athletic (after extra-time, 7-8 on penalties) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Defender Brandon Fleming got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.91/10. Fleming hit four key passes and won 16 of 20 duels.

Before that match, a Championship win away at Preston North End.

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 as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Hull City has won five of these, drawn two and lost seven.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hull as they have a new game in only four days, a Championship match thankfully also at home. Derby County are visiting.

Queens Park Rangers form and stats

Let's have a look at how Queens Park Rangers performed last season in the Championship: They landed a 9th position in the league table after playing out 19 victories, 11 draws and 16 defeats. In total they scored 57 and conceded 55 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 7 and lost 8 with 25/28 goals scored/conceded.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Leyton Orient (after extra-time, 3-5 on penalties) in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup match ended in a draw 1-1. Defender Robert Dickie was the best team player with a rating of 8.25. Dickie scored one goal and won 15 of 17 duels.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Millwall in the Championship.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by QPR in our archives, and the results are: four wins for Queens Park Rangers, two draws and eight defeats.

Queens Park Rangers has another fixture away, a Championship game, against Middlesbrough in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between these contenders: Hull won six, Queens Park Rangers were winners in two and we saw two draws. eight games with more than 2,5 goals, two matches with under 2,5 goals.
