Sunderland vs Hull City Prediction: A routine win expect for the Black Cats

Sunderland will hope to bounce back to winning ways when they welcome Hull City to the Stadium of Light on Saturday. The hosts remain unbeaten at home this season. Can they continue this run? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Sunderland

DWDWL

Sunderland suffered a 2-1 loss to Leeds United in their last game to end their six-game unbeaten run. The Black Cats have not suffered a loss at home this season, which has increased their chances of promotion. They sit 4th in the playoff spot with 62 points in 33 games, scoring 50 goals and conceding 30. However, Jayden Danns (unknown), Niall Huggins (knee), and Ajibola Alese (foot) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Hull City

LWLLD

Hull City were held to a 1-1 draw in their last game to extend their three-game winless run. They have won just two of their last nine games in all competitions. On the road, they have lost six of their last nine games. The Tigers sit 21st on the table with 30 points in 32 games, scoring 32 goals and conceding 43. However, Harvey Cartwright (hand), Dogukan Sinik (leg), Charlie Hughes (muscle), Mohamed Belloumi (cruciate ligame), Kasey Palmer (ankle), and Liam Millar (cruciate ligame) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Possible Starting 11

Sunderland — Anthony Patterson, Trai Hume, Daniel Ballard, Luke O'Nien, Dennis Cirkin, Dan Neil, Jobe Bellingham, Patrick Roberts, Chris Rigg, Enzo Le Fée, Wilson Isidor.

Hull City — Ivor Pandur, Lewie Coyle, John Egan, Alfie Jones, Sean McLoughlin, Regan Slater, Steven Alzate, Abu Kamara, Matt Crooks, Louie Barry, Kyle Joseph.

Interesting Facts

Expert Betting Tips

Despite losing their last game to league leaders Leeds United, Sunderland are still a team to beat, especially with the promotion berth in their sight. They are unbeaten at home this season, and I don’t think anything can stop them from continuing this run. On the other hand, the visitors have lost six of their last nine games on the road, and with their poor offensive strength, I doubt if they can get anything from this game.
