Recent respective form guides

Hull City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Tigers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Stoke City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Potters have hit 6 goals, 11 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hull City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 35 matches. Stoke City see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 39 points from their 35 games played so far,
