Hull City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Hull City have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 9 defeats from 17 games. Game days at KCOM Stadium have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Hull City as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

A strong away win for Hull against Peterborough United the last match, as Smith and Lewis-Potter (2) were on target. Lewis-Potter, a natural forward, was the champion player for the team in that game, and was presented with a rating of 8.85 (out of 10). Lewis-Potter scored two goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 4 times and had 23 successful passes (of 25 total).

Preceding that match was the home game against Barnsley that was lost 0-2.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Hull City here at KCOM Stadium in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (15 from 17 games). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Hull have conceded 20 in these home matches.

West Bromwich Albion form and stats

West Bromwich Albion have only collected 16 points from their away games in the Championship, after 4-4-10 (18 played). Bitter travels for West Bromwich Albion as they have lost six games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Barnsley match.

West Bromwich Albion might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Swansea City proved too strong as West Bromwich Albion slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at The Hawthorns.

Prior to that match, the WBA manager Bruce faced defeat when travelling to Middlesbrough and losing 1-2.

The attacking power of West Bromwich Albion when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 18 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, WBA have seen the ball go into their own net 22 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Here's what happened when the squads played each other earlier this campaign; West Bromwich Albion - Hull City 1-0.
