Portsmouth vs Hull City: match statistics
Hull City demonstrates significantly better away form with a 53% win rate on the road and an impressive shot conversion rate of 16%, which is more than double that of Portsmouth at home (7%). The hosts sit just 20th in the table and have earned only 1.2 points per game in their last 5 matches, while Hull City maintains a solid position in the league's top 5 despite a recent dip in form (0.8 PPG). Portsmouth tends to be inefficient before their home crowd (31% FTS%), whereas Hull City rarely fails to score away (7% FTS%) and averages 1.8 goals in away fixtures. Additionally, Hull City's away goal difference (+7) is far superior to Portsmouth's home record (+2), which, combined with the visitors' higher expected goals (xG), points towards their victory. Despite the hosts' advantage in possession (54%), Hull City converts their chances more effectively, which should translate into a favorable result.
