History of the Aston Villa v Hull City fixture

Aston Villa play host to Hull City at Villa Park on Monday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Villans are clearly on top, winning 6 and drawing 4 of the 11 games played.

The last time the two teams met at Aston Villa was more than a decade ago, in January 1999, with Aston Villa running out comfortable 3-0 winners in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides

Aston Villa will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. The Villans's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 10.

Hull City's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the The Tigers have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Aston Villa find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 55 points they have accumulated from 34 games. Hull City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 34 points from 34 matches.
