Hull City form and stats

Hull City have collected 12 points from their Championship home games so far after 3-3-5.

The Hull fans got no joy from their last match, a FA Cup game also here at KCOM Stadium: A 2-3 defeat against Everton (after extra-time). The forward Longman won the honour of being "man of the match" for Hull City with a rating of 7.72/10. Longman scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Blackpool (0-1).

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

The Hull fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 11 matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Hull have conceded 14 in these home matches.

There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
