Hull City form and stats

6-5-9 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Hull City in their Championship matches away.

Hull City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Huddersfield Town proved too strong as Hull slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at KCOM Stadium.

Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Luton Town.

The attacking power of Hull City when travelling is not overwhelming with 17 goals scored from 20 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Hull as they have only conceded 19 goals from these away games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is what happened when the contenders met previously this season; Hull City - Middlesbrough 2-0. Stats for the former ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Middlesbrough, two draws and three wins for Hull City. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
