FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been an indifferent run of form for the The Tigers of late, and things are not going to improve with the visit of Aston Villa, who one believes will win this game handsomely. Away win

Sequence statistics:
Hull City 5 games since last home draw.
Not won in the 3 most recent games.
Aston Villa 5 games since last away draw.
