The upcoming match between Hull City and Portsmouth is an intriguing one, with both teams showing vulnerabilities in their defensive record. Hull City has been struggling at home, conceding a worrying average of goals per game, making them vulnerable to their opponents. On the other hand, Portsmouth has been leaking goals away from home, with a concerning average of goals conceded per game, which also puts them at risk.
Despite these defensive frailties, Hull City has a good chance of winning this encounter, especially considering their recent head-to-head record with Portsmouth, which has seen few goals scored in their matches. However, the outcome of the game seems uncertain given the unpredictable form of both teams in recent weeks.
The team coached by John Mousinho usually plays good football even when they are on the road, which could pose a challenge for Hull City. Looking at their recent direct clashes, the home team has won 2 times, while there have been no draws and 3 victories for the away team.
In terms of attacking prowess, Hull City has an average of 1.2 goals scored per game this season, while Portsmouth has an average of 1 goal scored per game. This suggests that both teams have the ability to find the back of the net, which could make for an entertaining match.
Hull City, led by Tim Walter, will be looking to exploit Portsmouth's defensive weaknesses and secure a crucial victory at home. On the other hand, Portsmouth, under the guidance of John Mousinho, will be aiming to tighten up their defense and come away with a positive result on the road.
