History of the Hull City v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Wolves travel to take on Hull City at The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wolves will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The last time the two teams met at Hull City was well over fifteen years ago, back in October 1990, with Wolves inflicting a narrow 1 - 2 defeat upon the Tigers in a Second Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Hull City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Tigers have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. These low-scoring games have seen just 4 goals scored and conceded.

Hull City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 38 points from their 35 matches. Wolves lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola Championship, picking up 50 from their 34 games so far.
