History of the Birmingham City v Hull City fixture

Hull City travel to take on Birmingham City at St. Andrew's on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Tigers will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 13 and win only 3 of the 25 games.

The last time the two teams met at Birmingham C. was more than a decade ago, in September 1994, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a League Division Two match.
