History of the Hull City v Ipswich Town fixture

Ipswich Town face a trip to Hull City at The KC Stadium at lunchtime on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Tractor Boys will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 6 occasions, and draw 4, from the 11 games played.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2007, as the visitors ran out cosy 2 - 5 winners in a Championship match.

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 7, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.

Ipswich Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the Tractor Boys have hit 6 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hull City find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 8 points from their 7 matches. Ipswich Town's 10 points from 6 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
