Recent respective form guides
Hull City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. These low-scoring games have seen just 4 goals scored and conceded.
The away form of Reading however, is much more impressive, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. Just 7 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 1 have been let in at the wrong end.
Hull City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 14 points from their 13 matches. Reading are holding the final promotion place in the Coca Cola Championship, and have accumulated 30 points from the 13 games they have played so far.
