Hull’s search for consistency against an Ipswich side with momentum
Hull City’s start to the Premier League season has been steady but frustrating. Four draws and two defeats in their last six league games have kept them in mid-table, but a return of just two wins from eight suggests Liam Rosenior’s side are struggling to turn parity into victories. The 6 points dropped from winning positions is a particular concern, highlighting an inability to see out games.
Ipswich Town, by contrast, have shown resilience. Kieran McKenna’s men have gained 7 points from losing positions – the joint-most in the division – and have scored 12 goals, three more than Hull. However, they have also conceded 16, the second-worst defensive record in the league. That openness could play into Hull’s hands if they can find their finishing touch.
The head-to-head record offers little recent comfort for Hull. Ipswich won the most recent meeting 1-0 in the Championship on 3rd March 2026, and also triumphed 2-0 at the MKM Stadium on 25th November 2025. The last time Hull avoided defeat against Ipswich was a 3-3 draw on 27th April 2024. Both sides are now in the Premier League, and the stakes are different, but Ipswich will arrive with belief.
Talking points
- Points dropped from winning positions: Hull have surrendered 6 points from winning positions this season, the most in the league. Can they hold on if they take the lead?
- Ipswich’s comeback ability: Ipswich have gained 7 points from losing positions, showing they are never out of a game. Hull must stay switched on for 90 minutes.
- Head-to-head history: Ipswich have won the last two meetings, both in the Championship. Hull have not beaten Ipswich since a 3-3 draw in April 2024 – and not won since before that.
What happens next
