Game week two of the Championship season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Hull City - Reading preview:

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Hull City form and stats

The fans are hoping that Hull City will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Championship game against Swansea City. In the match before that, Hull City hosted Bristol City and drew the game 1-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hull City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 4 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hull City as they are travelling to their away game against Tranmere Rovers in the Carabao Cup. That match is three days after this one.

Last season, Hull City's league statistics were 17 wins, 11 draws and 18 losses, resulting in a 13th position in the Championship. Over these 46 matches they scored 66 goals and conceded 68. Playing at home last season Hull City managed 11-6-6 (win-draw-lost) with 37 goals and 24 conceded.

Reading form and stats

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Sheffield Wednesday with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Middlesbrough's place.

Reading are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

The schedule is very tough for Reading now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Carabao Cup game at Wycombe Wanderers is waiting in only three days.

Let's have a look at how Reading performed last season in the Championship: They landed a 20th position in the league table after playing out 10 victories, 17 draws and 19 defeats. In total they scored 49 and conceded 66 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 2 - drew 11 and lost 10 with 20/35 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 5 wins for Hull City, 4 draws and 1 win for Reading. Over 2,5 goals: 4 times; under 2,5 goals: 6 games.
