History of the Hull City v Colchester United fixture

Hull City prepare to entertain Colchester United at The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 15 games played, The Tigers have recorded 6 wins, and Colchester U. have come away with 5 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at The KC Stadium was less than a year ago, in April 2007, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Hull City have lost just once in their last six home games, winning four and drawing the other one. A total of 9 goals have been scored by the The Tigers in those games, with 5 conceded.

In complete contrast to Hull City, Colchester U. are having a torrid time on their travels, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the U's have hit 6 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hull City's 46 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 9th position. Colchester U. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 31 points from their 31 games thus far.
