Recent form

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent form has been inconsistent, with alternating wins and losses in their last six games across all competitions. The standout performance was a remarkable 5-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the League Cup, showcasing their offensive potential. Defensively, they've been solid, keeping three clean sheets in six matches. However, their league form is concerning, with two consecutive losses in their last two Championship games, contributing to their mid-table position. The team's goal-scoring has been feast or famine, with nine goals in six games, but five of those coming in a single match. Their last six games have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs (over 2.5 goals) and tighter contests (under 2.5 goals), indicating unpredictable performances.

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently languishing in 22nd position in the Championship. The Tigers are winless in their last six matches across all competitions, suffering three losses and three draws. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly weak, managing only 0.5 goals per game in this period, while conceding an average of 1.33 goals per match. Defensively, they've managed just one clean sheet in these six games. The team's struggles are further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a lack of offensive firepower. With three consecutive games without a win in the league, Hull City will be eager to turn their fortunes around and climb out of the relegation zone.
