Hull City form and stats

Hull City have played 14 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-7 (wins-draws-losses). The home fans are hungry for more even though Hull City have been steadily collecting points here at The A2B Stadium through three straight draws.

In their previous game, the manager Rosenior led his Hull to a defeat away at Sheffield United. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at The A2B Stadium. Until that defeat this team had gone six consecutive league games without losing. Docherty (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.25/10. Docherty hit three key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 38 total).

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Huddersfield Town that ended 1-1.

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 9 matches with the results: Won 2, drawn 2 and lost 5.

Hull City have conceded 23 from these games.
