19th- against 13th position might not feel all that inviting. But: Tipsway has the facts and figures that makes Hull City - Reading (even) more engrossing!
- Hull City have the most conceded goals (37) in Championship
- Reading have the the worst goal difference (-12) away in Championship
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Hull City form and stats
Hull City, who have the most conceded goals (37) in Championship, have played 10 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-0-6 (wins-draws-losses). With Hull having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Rosenior.
Happy days for Hull City in their previous game, a fixture away at Cardiff City (placed 18th) that ended with a 3-2 victory. Sweet to taste a league victory after three games without one. Midfielder Slater was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.82 (out of ten) in that game. Slater scored two goals and had 28 successful passes (of 32 total).
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Millwall the opponent.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 3 and lost 4.
Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Reading form and stats
There's been little loot from Reading's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 10 away games in the Championship. Reading only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Reading, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Watford (placed 5th). Rahman, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.34. Rahman won 13 of 19 duels.
The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Preston North End.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Reading in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Reading, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
The visitors have scored 6 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Reading struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 18 goals conceded from these games.
