Sunderland - Hull City predictions

Though we can call Sunderland the favourites in this matchup, Hull City are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

At 3.90 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Hull City are well aware of it themselves.

The hosts have a chance to make amends for the Ipswich Town defeat from the previous round. It was another home game for Sunderland but it did not go the way fans had hoped for. Their team conceded early in the first half and did not get a chance to get back in the game which ended up with a single-goal deficit.

The away team’s previous Championship outing was a close call from the get-go: betting odds saw the two teams as equally-matched, though Hull City did have the support of their home fans. However, they quickly fell behind in the first half and failed to catch up until the bitter end, ultimately recording a 1:2 loss.

Hull City’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 7 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Sunderland are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

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

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.80 odds offered at Betsson.
