History of the Derby County v Hull City fixture

Derby County play host to Hull City at Pride Park on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Rams are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 6 of the 25 games.

The last time the two teams met at Derby County was just over four years ago, in February 2007, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides

Derby County's home form is most definitely relegation standard, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. Rams have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Hull City's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 13 goals for the The Tigers, and 6 goals against.

Derby County find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 36 points from their 31 matches. Hull City's 46 points from 32 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
