Match Context and Recent Form
Hull City, currently languishing in the 21st position of the English Championship, faces Wrexham AFC, a team that has been making headlines with their recent performances and ownership by Hollywood actors. Hull City has been struggling with inconsistency, as evidenced by their recent form which includes a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough and a narrow 0-1 loss to Millwall. Their defensive vulnerabilities are apparent, conceding an average of 1.53 goals per match, while their attack has been lackluster, scoring just 0.94 goals per match. In contrast, Wrexham AFC has been on a positive trajectory, remaining unbeaten in their last six games. However, their away form has been less impressive, with no wins in their last five away matches.
