Portsmouth vs Hull City

Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Pompey have shown resilience in their away performances, notably securing a thrilling 5-3 victory against Norwich, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Their defensive record has been somewhat shaky, conceding in five out of the six games, but they've managed to outscore their opponents overall with 10 goals for and 9 against. Portsmouth's ability to find the net has been consistent, with both teams scoring in 67% of these matches. The team's position of 16th in the Championship table suggests they're comfortably clear of relegation but struggling to mount a serious promotion challenge. Their recent upturn in form, going unbeaten in their last three matches (DWWD), offers some encouragement for Portsmouth supporters as the season draws to a close.

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to maintain a positive momentum in the Championship. The Tigers have managed just two wins in their last six matches, alternating between victories and defeats without stringing together consecutive positive results. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly concerning, netting only 0.67 goals per game on average, while conceding slightly more at 0.83 per match. Defensively, Hull City have kept only one clean sheet in their last six outings, a statistic that has contributed to their precarious 22nd position in the league table. With 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, the team's games have generally been low-scoring affairs, reflecting their difficulties in both attack and defence. The Tigers' current form suggests they are in a battle to avoid relegation, with points becoming increasingly crucial as the season progresses.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth have shown impressive form at home recently, winning four of their last six matches at Fratton Park. The Pompey have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets and conceding only five goals in this period. Their recent run includes a three-match winning streak, demonstrating their growing confidence on home turf. Despite their 16th position in the Championship, Portsmouth's home form has been a bright spot, with the team averaging 1.33 goals per game whilst limiting their opponents to less than a goal per match. Interestingly, half of their recent home fixtures have seen both teams score, and there's been an even split between games with under and over 2.5 goals, suggesting a mix of tight contests and more open affairs.

Hull City

Hull City's recent away form has been underwhelming, with the Tigers struggling to find consistency on the road. The team have managed just one win in their last six away fixtures, accompanied by two draws and three losses. Notably, Hull City are currently on a run of two consecutive away defeats, having lost to both Swansea and Watford without scoring. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding an average of 0.83 goals per game, but their attacking prowess has been lacking, with only 0.5 goals scored per game. Interestingly, all of Hull City's last six away matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend of low-scoring encounters. The Tigers have also kept only one clean sheet during this period, highlighting the challenges they face in shutting out opponents on their travels.
