History of the Hull City v Watford fixture

Hull City play host to Watford at The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 1 of the 14 previous games, with the Tigers winning just 7.

The last time the two teams met at Hull City was more than a decade ago, in March 1991, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Second Division match.
