Recent respective form guides

Hull City have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. While The Tigers have scored 9, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Bolton Wdrs. is pretty dire, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Trotters have hit 5 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hull City find themselves in a respectable 6th position, courtesy of the 20 points they have accumulated from 11 games. Bolton Wdrs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Barclays Premier League with a return of just 11 points from their 11 games thus far.
