Birmingham City, Recent FormAfter a crushing 3-0 away loss to Burnley, the Birmingham City squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. They achieved 32% possession in that match and had 2 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Burnley's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 8 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 10 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are showing great consistency at St. Andrew's Stadium in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Birmingham will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Scott Hogan will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Birmingham City.
Hull City, Recent FormHull City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Blackpool. Their share of possession in that meeting was 67%, while racking up 15 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Blackpool had 15 shots on goal with 5 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 6 and seen valuable points lost. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 5 away games out of 11 this season, Liam Rosenior will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards. Having shipped at least a single goal in 21 of their 24 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 4 consecutive games without a win.
Away from home in the league, Regan Slater has given the Hull City travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 3 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Hull City, losing 0-2 to Birmingham City.
In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, The Tigers have failed to score a single goal against Birmingham. The Blues have struggled to keep Hull City at bay when these two teams have met at St. Andrew's Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Hull City in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals. Playing away from home, Hull City have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Birmingham.
When playing away from home in the league, Hull City have failed to win any of their last 5 meetings with Birmingham, with the last 3 of those games ending in a draw.
With only Harlee Dean (Calf) and Przemysław Płacheta (Shin) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, John Eustace will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Liam Rosenior has a number of injury concerns in his Hull City squad to contend with: Vaughn Covil (Cruciate ligament), Dimitris Pelkas (Knee) and Benjamin Tetteh (Hamstring)
