Stoke v Hull Preview, Tips & Prediction

Stoke host Hull on Saturday afternoon at the Bet365 Stadium with both sides still at risk of relegation into League One. Read the Stoke v Hull match preview and predictions below.

Despite being below Hull in the Championship table, Stoke are heavy favourites on Saturday. Since the new year, the hosts have picked up 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 4 defeats which is an improvement compared to their start to the season. An impressive 2-0 victory at home to Cardiff two weeks ago was followed up with draws against Blackburn and Luton. This is a huge game for Stoke, not just because they are playing a side also fighting against relegation, but also because Middlesbrough, who currently sit one place and one point below them in the relegation zone, play 20th placed Charlton at the weekend and so they could potentially climb to 17th in the league and a lot closer to safety.

After a positive start to 2020 where Hull picked up 3 consecutive victories, Grant McCann’s side haven’t won since, and have collected just 2 points from their last 11 games. They sit 3 points above the drop zone but could all change on Saturday and they desperately need a result to both lift spirits and edge them towards safety.

Stoke v Hull Prediction

Stoke come into this game in much better form than their rivals and with the home advantage, it’s not difficult to see why the bookies have priced them as firm favourites. With Hull struggling for goals, we’re not expecting a goal fest and so we’re backing a 1-0 home win.
