Hull City

Hull City have been experiencing mixed form in recent weeks, currently sitting in 21st position in the Championship with 30 points from 32 games. The Tigers have struggled for consistency, alternating between wins and losses in their last five matches before securing a draw in their most recent outing against Norwich. Their goal difference over the past six games is surprisingly neutral, having scored and conceded seven goals each. Hull City have shown the ability to keep clean sheets, managing two in this period, including an impressive 3-0 away victory against Sheffield United. However, their defensive vulnerabilities are evident, with half of their matches seeing both teams score. The team's goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just over one goal per game, which may be a concern for their survival hopes in the Championship.

The team's home form has contributed significantly to their current 4th position in the Championship, making the Stadium of Light a fortress as they push for promotion.

Hull City

Hull City's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Tigers demonstrating resilience and inconsistency in equal measure. Despite their lowly 21st position in the league, Hull have shown flashes of brilliance on the road, stringing together an impressive three-match winning streak in their last six away games. This run included three consecutive clean sheets, highlighting a marked improvement in their defensive solidity. However, their away form has been bookended by losses, including a recent 2-0 defeat to Burnley.
