Hull City and Huddersfield Town will be back in action when they lock horns this Friday at MMK Stadium in the Championship. Kickoff schedules for 1st April 2022 at 21:45 EAT.
The hosts are in 20th position with 41 points in the standings. They have only won five of their 19 home matches and have the joint worst home record in the league with just 18 points. Hull has failed to win against Huddersfield in their last four matches with the last victory against them coming in 2015 however the team is in a good form at the moment and has kept three clean sheets in the last five games, conceding five goals during the period.
Shota Arveladze’s troops will be looking for comeback following 1-3 Championship defeat to Luton Town in their previous fixture. In that game, Hull City had 59% possession, 16 shots with four of them on target and a goal scored by Tom Eaves (92′). Luton Town got 11 shots with five of them on target and goals by Elijah Adebayo (9′), Harry Cornick (56′) and James Bree (72′).
Huddersfield Town occupies the fourth position with 63 points. The visitors were flying high in both the league and FA Cup but a run of three defeats in their last four matches has seen them hit a mini slump. They have had the tendency to draw matches from winning positions and need to address this issue urgently. Both teams come into this meeting on the back of defeats but Huddersfield in particular needs three points to stay within the playoff places.
Huddersfield will be looking to bounce back after they tasted defeat 0-3 at the hands of AFC Bournemouth in Championship competition. In that game, Huddersfield Town managed 38% possession and seven shots on with four of them on target. Bournemouth got 14 shots with six of them on target and goals by Jaidon Anthony (19′), Jefferson Lerma (31′) and Dominic Solanke (46′).
