Hull City host Huddersfield Town in a Friday night Championship fixture. The visitors have fared better on their travels lately and should continue their recent dominance over Hull, who have been woeful at home.
Sitting 13 points above the bottom three, Hull City have no present fear of getting dragged into the relegation zone. Their task for the rest of the season will be to finish as close to the top 10 as possible.
Hull City were struggling prior to the international break, claiming one win from their last four Championship matches. Their previous fixture was a 3-1 home defeat to Luton Town with Tom Eaves getting a late consolation after going three goals down.
That result against Luton Town highlights a poor home record as they have struggled to find their feet at the MKM Stadium lately. Shota Arveladze’s men have lost their last five home matches, scoring just one goal in that run.
The international break could not have come at a better time for Huddersfield Town as things looked to be on a downward spiral. Carlos Corberan’s men are winless in their last four matches, suffering three defeats in that run.
Huddersfield Town suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth in their previous Championship fixture. Despite that result, they remain in the hunt for a playoff finish and still hold a slim chance of automatic promotion, sitting fourth on the table, six points behind the Cherries in second place.
One positive for Huddersfield Town is that they have fared much better on their recent travels with just one defeat in their last 10 away matches. Among the wins in that run is an impressive 2-1 triumph at Championship leaders Fulham.
