Jakupovic eager to end Hull’s away day blues
Goalkeeper Eldin Jakupovic has warned his Hull City team-mates that they cannot solely rely on their home form if they are to survive this Premier League season.
Hull are currently one place and two points above the drop zone, sitting 17th on 30 points – two ahead of Swansea.
And the reason Hull are just above the drop zone has been their form at the KCOM Stadium, having gone unbeaten in their last seven Premier League home games, winning their last three.
However, on the flip side the Tigers have won just once away from home all season, this coming with a 2-0 success at Swansea in just the second game of the season.
And 32-year-old Jakupovic knows Hull must improve on the road, with a trip to Stoke fast approaching this Saturday.
“We have to just keep going and take points away from home,” Jakupovic said. “We have three more home games but the next match is important for us.
“We could win all three home games and get to 39 points. Would that be enough? Maybe, but we need away points.
“Every point will be massive, not just for us but for Palace and Swansea, and everybody.
“We have to just keep going, try not to think about the table too much. We have to be cool and play our game.”
