2nd position in the League One table for Hull City so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 13th-placed Blackpool visits KCOM Stadium.

Insights:
  • Hull City haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
  • Blackpool have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a EFL Trophy match only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Fleetwood Town, was also a home game here at KCOM Stadium. The away team is better rested.

Hull City form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at KCOM Stadium as Hull City have scored 10 goals to get 18 points from 9 games. The overall stats in the League One are 6-0-3 (wins-draws-losses).

A nice win for Hull last time playing, versus Fleetwood Town. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-2 with M. Wilks, L. Coyle and K. Lewis-Potter scoring for the victors. Before that, Hull played out a League One draw 1-1 when visiting Sunderland.

A very satisfying win for Hull against Fleetwood Town last time out as a late comeback secured the victory after trailing 0-2. The win was secured through L. Coyle's goal in the 90th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when L. Coyle scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Hull City, as the League One home game vs Accrington Stanley is only three days away.

Hull has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. From these home matches, Hull City have conceded only 6 goals. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Blackpool form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Blackpool so far with only 11 points returning home. The records show 3-2-6 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Blackpool are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Blackpool's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus West Bromwich Albion (after extra-time, 3-2 on penalties) that finished 2-2. A 1-2 defeat away at Bristol Rovers before that.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Northampton Town in just three days.

The attacking power of Blackpool when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 11 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, Blackpool have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Blackpool - Hull 3-2 played earlier this season. Last eight meetings between the teams: Hull won zero, Blackpool won five and three draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.
