Hull v Sunderland

Hull City faces Sunderland this Sunday, at the MKM Stadium. After a tough loss at Norwich Hull will be keen to bounce back and climb the tightly packed Championship table, while Sunderland looks to maintain their excellent start and hold onto the top spot.

⭐ Hull v Sunderland Best Bets

Sunderland have tended to start quickly this year, averaging 1.11 goals before half-time across their 9 games so far. They’ve found the net in the opening half of every game but one, while their opponents Hull, have had a tough time defensively in the first half, conceding an average of 0.67 goals per 45.

The Tigers have only scored first once this season while the visitors have managed this feat eight times out of nine. To further back this selection, the hosts seem particularly unlikely to score early this week with Sunderland’s defence, allowing just 0.22 goals on average in the first half. Hull also tend to find more joy in the second half, with two-thirds of their goals this year having come after the break.

His aggressive style of play is evident from his average of 2.5 fouls per 90 minutes, while he also draws 3.24 fouls per 90, highlighting his ability to disrupt the opposition. 

As Sunderland prepares to face Hull, Mundle’s tenacity and physical presence will be crucial. Given his track record, his odds for two fouls seem like solid value.

💻 Hull v Sunderland Form and Tactics

Hull City had a sluggish start to the season, failing to secure a win from their first five matches. They have, however, managed to turn things around slightly with impressive victories over Stoke, Cardiff, and QPR. Following their last game where they suffered a heavy defeat at Norwich, it will be intriguing to see if they can continue their promising form and take some points from the league leaders. 

If they are to do so they will need to sort out the defensive issues that have plagued them this season. Hull have kept just a single clean sheet in the Championship and have committed three errors leading to goals. They have also conceded two penalties. This is in stark contrast to their opponents who have looked incredibly secure with five clean sheets and zero errors leading to goals or even shots.

Sunderland have also looked clinical in attack having netted 18 this season (the highest in the league)  and can’t seem to miss when given a sniff at goal. against a mistake-prone Hull defence, it’s difficult not to anticipate goals.
