Any Previous? Latics v Hull City

Latics and Hull City have met on 29 occasions down the years.

 

The first meeting came in the 1981/82 when we gained our first ever promotion as a Football League side, we did the double of them that campaign winning 0:2 at Boothery Park and 2:1 in the return fixture at Springfield Park.

Our last meeting came in the Championship earlier this season, back in October, despite taking the lead with a Will Keane special, we succumbed to pressure and ended up losing 2:1
