Hull to dent Barnsley bid for Championship survival
2176

On Wednesday night, Hull host struggling Barnsley at the KCOM Stadium, as the visitors look to aide their bid for survival in the Championship.

Hull have dropped down to 17th place in the Championship table after an eight-game winless run in the English second tier. A 2-1 defeat at Preston last time out means that the Tigers have lost six of their last eight league matches.

The home sides recent Championship games have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six matches in the second tier. Both teams have also scored in five of Hull’s last six games in the Championship.

Hull have struggled for results on home soil of late in the second tier, failing to win in five league matches, while suffering four defeats in the process. The Tigers have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five home matches in the Championship.

Barnsley are up against it in the fight for Championship survival. The Tykes are currently five points from safety in the second tier.

Despite their lowly position in the table, the team from Yorkshire have won their last two league matches against Fulham and last time out Middlesbrough, while keeping clean sheets in both games.

The fact that the Tykes have won just three of their last 11 league matches has led to the visitor’s position in the table. They also have the joint second worse defensive record in the Championship.

Barnsley have struggled for away results of late in the second tier, having won just two of their last 23 Championship matches on their travels. An impressive 3-0 win at Fulham in their last away game ended a four-game winless run on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Hull will end their winless run in the Championship denting Barnsley’s survival hopes in the process.
