Sunderland - Hull City betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Hull City are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Sunderland should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against Hull City here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Sunderland are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.75.

The last round brought a very good result overall for Sunderland. They took a difficult Championship trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important Burnley away draw.

Hull City failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Rotherham United despite the favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Records show that the two teams were largely neck-to-neck throughout the showdown, which ended in a rather disappointing 0:0.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

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.

Sunderland may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Hull City this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.81. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
