Hull City vs Ipswich Town
2017/18 EFL Championship
Date: Saturday, 18th November 2017
Kick off at 15:00 UK/16:00 CET
Venue: KCOM Stadium.

Hull takes on Ipswich in another Championship game. The hosts are nowhere near where they want to be while the visitors are doing a good job so far.

Last Game:

Hull took a heavy hit. The Tigers were just outplayed by Sheffield United. They were leading in the first half as Grosicky opened up the score but the second half was a disaster. 4 straight goals from Clarke and Hull were outplayed in every aspect. The full time score was Clarke 4 Hull 1.

Ipswich were impressive last time they played. They took a comfortable 3-0 victory over Preston North End. Waghorn, McGoldrick and Celina were the scorers. Ipswich looked comfortable against out of form Preston and did what was expected from them.

Form and Tactical Analysis

Hull City

Hull had ambitions to go back to the Premier League right after they got relegated. Still they find themselves near the drop zone rather than the play-offs. The team struggles at both ends of the pitch and has inconsistency troubles. Their form is currently rapidly dropping as the team accumulated 3 straight defeats 2 of which were at home. They were simply letting too many goals (10 overall in those 3 games).

Hull plays in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The team tries to dominate the midfield but lacks the ability to do it. Their defensive line looks particularly error prone as they get exposed too much when losing possession.

Ipswich Town

The tractor boys are having an interesting season. They are far from the zone as opposed to last season and are even closing on top 6. Sitting currently on 8th place just 2 points from the top 6 the team looks to have a decent chance for reaching the play-offs. They are yet to finish in a draw rotating only victories and defeats. Ipswich have some issues when playing away from home as they have 4 losses and just 3 victories.

Ipswich used 4-2-3-1 previous game and looked sharp. On the road the team usually utilizes 4-1-4-1 preferring to focus on limiting the opposition space.

Hull vs Ipswich: Head to head

Hull has a huge advantage here. They are undefeated in 9 games against Ipswich and will be playing with confidence on Saturday. Not only that but the team has recorded 4 straight victories.

At home Hull has 4 victories and a draw.

Hull vs Ipswich: Prediction

Hull are up for a tough challenge. Ipswich may not be the best visitors but the team has plenty about themselves to provide a threat. Both teams are capable of securing the victory and it will be interesting to see which one comes on top. Both teams to find the net looks like a decent option but going for the first Ipswich draw this season also has value in it with such a good odds.
