Hull City vs Bristol City - Match Preview
2460
For a brief period this season, Sunday’s hosts, Hull City, looked like making a serious challenge for what seemed an unlikely play-off spot as The Tigers put together a very decent 10-match sequence without defeat in the Championship which included seven wins.
Manager, Nigel Adkins looked like he’d hit on the winning formula at the KCOM Stadium as his side racked up five wins on the trot with victories over Brentford, Swansea City, Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke City and indeed carried this form on throughout March and mid-April, but poor results away from home ultimately cost Hull a potential top six finish.
Nevertheless, Hull City have been impressive this season at the KCOM Stadium particularly of late as the hosts have lost just once in their last 13 home matches which includes 9 wins and 3 draws.
Once Hull started gathering momentum under Adkins just prior to Christmas, the goals also started flowing as the likes of forwards Bowen (22 goals), Campbell (12 goals) and Grosicki (9 goals) cashed in.
Indeed, this period saw 9 of Hull’s subsequent 11 home matches resulting in over 2.5 goals.
Bristol City revived what seemed to be fading dreams of a play-off spot with a 2-1 win away from home at Championship strugglers, Millwall on Tuesday night and The Robins must now grab all three points away against a free-scoring Hull City outfit at the KCOM Stadium.
Bristol City’s win at Millwall ended a miserable four-match run without a win in the Championship which included defeats to Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County which threatened to put an end to the west country club’s play-off aspirations.
The visitors’ form away from home though has been patchy to say the least as their last 10 matches on the road consist of 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats and this mixed bag of results may prevent The Robins from securing all three points here.
10 of Bristol City’s 22 away matches have seen over 2.5 goals which isn’t a fantastic ratio but the context of this fixture demands an attacking approach from Bristol City who are more than capable of scoring goals on the road.
Indeed, The Robins have scored in 18 of their 22 away matches to date and must get a result here.
This game therefore has goals written all over it.
