Comparative Team Statistics: Hull City vs Ipswich

A long history, but little of it recent in this division

These two have met many times down the years, mostly in the Championship and League One. Ipswich won the last meeting 1-0 in March 2026, while Hull won 2-0 the time before that in November 2025.

Most of the earlier meetings came in lower divisions, so they don't tell us much about how this fixture plays out at Premier League level now.

Early-season table

Hull sit 8th with eight points from five games, having scored six and conceded four. Ipswich are just below them in 11th on six points, with seven scored and eleven conceded.

It's a small sample so far, but Hull's tighter defensive record stands out next to Ipswich's.

Hull's goal difference is notably better despite the sides being close on points.

Players to watch

Hull's M. Belloumi has been busy in recent matches, with two goals and two assists in his last five appearances. For Ipswich, the scoring load has been shared between Emersonn and L. Davis, who've both netted twice, while J. Enciso has chipped in with assists.

On the disciplinary side, Ipswich's A. Fatawu has picked up three yellows and a red in his last five games, which is worth keeping an eye on given the risk of a suspension.

How this one might go

Hull's defensive numbers are the stronger of the two so far, conceding just four in five league games compared to Ipswich's eleven. That suggests Hull might be the tougher side to break down at home.

Ipswich have shown they can score goals in bunches, as both the Crystal Palace and Sunderland results show, but they've also been caught out at the back more than once this season.
