The Hull City & Peterborough United managers G. McCann and D. Ferguson are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the League One league table.
It's no vacation for neither Hull City nor Peterborough United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hull City form and stats
As mentioned below, Hull City are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 League One games. Nine out of nine points from the last three home games for Hull City, and the home supporters are ready to scream their lungs out to keep the winning streak alive.
Hull's previous game was a League One match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus AFC Wimbledon (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that match, a win away at Rochdale.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hull City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won six, drawn one and lost eight.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hull as they are travelling to their away game against Bristol Rovers in the League One. That match is three days after this one.
Hull City has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
Peterborough United form and stats
Playing away, Peterborough United have won 2 games, drawn 0 and suffered 2 defeats in the League One this season. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Peterborough United hope to make it five in this match. Peterborough love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
The Peterborough United goalkeeper Christy Pym is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 354 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.
Two travels in a row for Peterborough United, whose manager D. Ferguson could celebrate last time after the League One win against Wigan Athletic. Before that, Peterborough secured a home win against Oxford United with the score 2-0.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Peterborough United playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Peterborough United wins, three draws and five defeats.
After this away game Peterborough return home for a League One game against Burton Albion. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Peterborough United as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: two - one - one (Hull wins - draws - Peterborough United wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
