Wrexham's away form is cautious, with tight defense (9/8), but their inability to secure wins away leaves them vulnerable. --- ### Detailed Team Analysis Hull City: Hull City relies heavily on their attacking trio, contributing to their 31 goals this season. However, defensive frailty is evident, conceding 34 goals, and their inconsistent form (2 wins in the last 5 matches) should be noted. Key player I. Pandur (goalkeeper) has been solid but exposed due to defensive lapses. Fatigue from recent fixtures may also impact their performance. Wrexham: Wrexham's defensive structure has been their strength, conceding only 21 goals, one of the better records in their league tier. However, scoring only 24 goals shows offensive reliance on key moments rather than sustained pressure. Their recent unbeaten streak (3 draws, 2 wins) provides confidence, but their tendency to draw (9 draws in 19 games) signals limited attacking prowess. --- ### Head-to-Head Record (H2H) | Total H2H | Hull City Wins | Wrexham Wins | Draws | Avg Goals/Match | |-----------|----------------|--------------|-------|----------------| | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 6.0 | The only recent encounter ended in a high-scoring 3-3 draw, showcasing both teams’ offensive and defensive vulnerabilities.
