Recent respective form guides

Hull City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 7 in the wrong end.

Southampton's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. A generous 6 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Hull City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola Championship with a return of just 18 points from their 19 games thus far. Southampton's 25 points from 18 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
