Peterborough United form and stats

The story so far in the Championship for Peterborough United, who have the the worst goal difference (-39) in Championship, at their home stadium (Weston Homes Stadium) is 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 defeats. When Peterborough United hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Barnsley, Reading, Derby County, Swansea City and Peterborough United), they have won 2 of 5 matches! The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.

The fans are hoping that Peterborough United will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Fulham (placed 1st).

Heartbreak before that as Peterborough United lost 0-1 at Derby County's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Peterborough United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Peterborough as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Peterborough United has won four of these, drawn three and lost five.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the FA Cup game versus Manchester City in only three days. This game is also played here at Weston Homes Stadium.

18 goals have been conceded.

Hull City form and stats

There's been little loot from Hull City's travels as they have only collected 16 points from 17 away games in the Championship. Hull City only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 4 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Hull City, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

The manager Arveladze was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium KCOM Stadium. Hull City suffered a 0-2 loss to Barnsley (placed 24th). Bernard was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.25. The defender Bernard hit two key passes and won 11 of 15 duels.

A 1-1 draw at Queens Park Rangers's stadium before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found twelve similar matches played by Hull in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Hull City, three draws and four defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hull City as they have only managed to score 12 times from 17 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Hull have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
