Hull City pack their bags to visit Middlesbrough at Riverside Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 15 out of 22 times.
The previous match played between the two at Riverside Stadium was within the last three years, in January 2007, as the Boro edged out their past their rivals by a score of 4 - 3 in a F.A. Cup match.
