Current streaks

Recent form

Hull City

Hull City's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Tigers showing signs of inconsistency in their last six matches. Despite their low position in the league table (19th), Hull have managed to secure two wins, two draws, and two losses in their recent outings, demonstrating a degree of resilience. Notably, the team has been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly the 3-3 draw against Leeds United and the impressive 3-0 away victory over Sheffield United. Hull City have been relatively prolific in front of goal, scoring 9 times in 6 matches (1.5 goals per game), while their defence has shown improvement with two clean sheets in their last three games. The team's ability to score and concede has led to an entertaining average of 2.67 total goals per match, with an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. While Hull City haven't managed to string together a significant run of wins, their recent form suggests they are capable of competing against teams across the table, which could be crucial in their bid to climb away from the relegation zone.

Stoke City

Stoke City find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 20th in the Championship table with 29 points from 29 games. The Potters' recent form has been characterised by a string of draws, with four stalemates in their last six matches across all competitions. Their inability to secure victories is highlighted by a six-game winless run in the league, with their last triumph coming in an FA Cup fixture against Sunderland. Defensively, Stoke have shown some resilience, keeping three clean sheets in their last six outings. However, their attacking prowess has been lacking, managing just 0.67 goals per game during this period. The team's struggles in front of goal are further emphasised by the fact that 67% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals scored. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring games, the 3-1 defeat to Portsmouth stands out as their heaviest loss in this run.

Recent home/away form

Hull City

Hull City's recent home form has been mixed, with the Tigers struggling to secure victories at their own ground. In their last six home matches, Hull have managed just one win, drawn three, and lost twice. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games and conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. However, Hull have been involved in some entertaining encounters, particularly the high-scoring 3-3 draw against Leeds United. The Tigers have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of six matches, but their goal difference remains negative. With both teams scoring in 83% of these games, Hull City's home fixtures have provided excitement for neutral spectators, though the lack of wins has likely frustrated the home supporters.

Stoke City

Stoke City have been struggling in their recent away fixtures, with only one win in their last six games on the road. The Potters have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of these matches, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. Their goal-scoring form has also been lacklustre, netting just 0.83 goals per game on average. Notably, Stoke are currently on a run of three away games without a win, which includes two losses and a draw. The team's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, with both teams scoring in 67% of these matches. Despite the overall poor form, there's a balanced split between high and low-scoring games, with half of the fixtures seeing over 2.5 goals. The most recent away match against Portsmouth was particularly high-scoring, ending in a 3-1 defeat for Stoke City.
