Hull City 0-2 Stoke City

Recent form

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been characterized by a series of draws, with four out of their last six matches ending in stalemates. Despite this, they managed to secure an impressive away win against Southampton, showcasing their ability to grind out results on the road. However, their most recent friendly match against Curaçao resulted in a 1-0 defeat, which may raise some concerns. The team's scoring and conceding rates have been evenly matched, averaging one goal per game in both categories over the last six matches. Notably, 70% of their games have featured under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency for low-scoring affairs. Hull City currently sit in 7th position in the league table, indicating that they are in contention for a playoff spot, but their recent string of draws may hinder their progress if they fail to convert these into wins.

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games yielding a pattern of two losses followed by a win, repeated twice (LLWLWL). They are currently struggling in the Championship, sitting in 19th place with 41 points from 38 games. Over their previous six matches, Stoke City has scored only 5 goals (0.83 per game) while conceding 8 (1.33 per game), resulting in a negative goal difference of -3. Notably, they have managed just one clean sheet during this period. The goal distribution has been evenly split, with 50% of the games seeing under 2.5 goals and the other 50% witnessing over 2.5 goals. Their most recent match, a 0-3 home defeat against Norwich, stands out as a particularly disappointing result.

Recent home/away form

Hull City

Hull City's recent home form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches at the MKM Stadium yielding one win, three draws, and two losses. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only five goals in these six games, resulting in a low average of 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they have conceded six goals, maintaining an average of one goal conceded per game. It's worth noting that their most recent home game, a friendly against Curaçao, ended in a 1-0 defeat.

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent away form has been poor, with four consecutive losses before their most recent victory against Preston.
