Southampton - Hull City predictions

We don’t expect Southampton to have any issues beating Hull City. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.58 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

From the current standpoint, the situation is obvious. Given the strength of The Saints and the 5.84 odds given to Hull City to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a stunning surprise.

The Saints performed beyond all expectations in their previous Championship match against West Bromwich Albion . They grabbed an early lead and rode out the momentum until the very end, which resulted in a resolute 0:2 away win.

Hull City were up against dangerously long odds at 2.66 in the previous round, but they managed to carve out an away victory. They took the lead in the first half and comfortably strolled to the final 1:2 score, which was mildly surprising considering the home-field disadvantage.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The last two times we saw Hull City at their home field both matches ended with less than 1 goal total. Although they’re the away team this time, online bookmakers are predicting another low-scoring affair.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 1.58 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Southampton won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

This Tuesday, both teams will have a full roster available to them, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
