Hull City - Southampton predictions

Though the match can honestly go either way, Hull City will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 3.00 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

Southampton will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Hull City are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

It’s fair to say Hull City demonstrated their character in the last Championship clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Swansea City).

The Saints are here on the back of rather poor performance in their previous Championship game. The odds seemed stacked in their favour with both home-field advantage and 4.62 betting odds for their victory. Despite all of this, however, the game ended up being a protracted stalemate, ending in an HT/FT 0:0 draw.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Hull City’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.79 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
