History of the Hull City v Southampton fixture

Southampton face a trip to Hull City at The KC Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 24 games played, Saints have recorded 3 wins, and Hull City have come away with 10 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in November 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Hull City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 4 in the wrong end.

Southampton's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Saints have hit 6 goals, 9 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hull City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 17 points from their 20 games thus far. Southampton lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 33 from their 20 games so far.
