Statistics for the match:
Hull City, under Rubén Sellés, have found the net six times in their last six games, averaging one goal per match. However, they have struggled against Plymouth Argyle in recent meetings, failing to win any of their last three league encounters. Their home form has also been a concern, with no victories in their last five league matches at the MKM Stadium, leaving fans increasingly frustrated.
Plymouth Argyle’s defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, conceding in five of their last six matches, with opponents scoring a total of seven goals. Their backline has been repeatedly exposed, and their struggles away from home are even more alarming. They have failed to win in their last 19 away league matches and have not secured a victory at Hull City in their previous two visits. Desperation is creeping in as they search for a long-overdue result on the road.
What is the Prediction?
Based on the stats, both teams are likely to find the net, given Hull City’s scoring consistency and Plymouth Argyle’s defensive frailties. However, the unpredictable nature of Championship football, combined with the urgency of both sides to secure crucial points, means this match could still spring surprises. With both teams struggling for form and desperate to climb out of the relegation zone, expect a tense and hard-fought encounter at the MKM Stadium.
