Hull City are looking to jumpstart their campaign as they host Luton Town in a Friday night Championship fixture. Hull have struggled this season and given their poor recent record in this fixture; could be in for another difficult night against Luton.
It has been a testing campaign for Hull City so far as they have claimed just three wins from their 10 Championship matches so far. They are currently 20th on the table, just one point above the bottom three.
Hull City have suffered four straight defeats and were beaten 3-0 by Swansea in their previous Championship fixture.
The task for Hull now will be to revive their campaign, starting with Friday’s home clash at the MKM Stadium. However, the problem for Shota Averladze’s side is that they have struggled at the MKM Stadium, losing their last two matches and failed to register a single goal in both defeats.
Luton Town have fared much better than Hull City this season but still need to find some consistency.
The good news for Luton is that they have something to build on having claimed a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers in their previous Championship fixture. Following a cagey opening, second half goals from Carlton Morris and Reece Burke were enough to seal the win.
The strange thing about Luton Town’s campaign is that they have fared better on their travels having suffered just one defeat away at home this season. Nathan Jones’ men have won their last two away matches and claimed a 2-1 victory at Cardiff City in their last fixture on the road.
