Statistical Preview: Hull City vs. Watford

Weekend match outcomes positioned Hull City at the bottom of the Championship standings. This Wednesday evening will mark the debut appearance of new manager Ruben Selles on the touchline. Hull City, known as the Tigers, have not secured a victory in their last six home fixtures and are currently experiencing a six-game losing streak within the league. Should Watford’s performance in away matches mirror their results at home, the team would be significantly nearer to the automatic promotion positions, and certainly within the top six. With only seven points accumulated from their nine away fixtures, Watford, also known as the Hornets, possess the lowest away points tally among the top 15 clubs in the Championship. In their last 13 league encounters with Watford, Hull City have suffered only three defeats (with six wins and four draws), and have managed to keep a clean sheet in four of their most recent five games against them. Watford has secured two victories in their last four away league matches against Hull City (with two losses), a number of wins equivalent to their total from the preceding 17 such fixtures combined (which included six draws and nine losses). Hull has not achieved a win in any of their last five home league games contested during midweek (specifically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday, resulting in three draws and two losses). This marks their longest such streak since a nine-match period between August 2017 and November 2018. Watford has recorded only one win in their last 10 league games played on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday (with three draws and six losses). However, that singular triumph occurred in their most recent midweek fixture against Bristol City last month, ending 1-0. Last month, Watford secured a 6-2 victory in their most recent away league game against a Yorkshire-based team, Sheffield Wednesday. In that single match, they scored an equal number of goals as they had accumulated across their preceding 10 such fixtures combined.
