Sunderland vs Hull: Top Free Betting Tips

Round 40 features Sunderland and Hull City in a late fixture fighting against each other at Stadium of Light on Friday, 7 April. Both sides will be looking forward to switching their form as the two teams enter this game after consecutive draws in EFL Championship.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Sunderland has seen three of the previous four league affairs ending with Under 2.5 Goals and the Black Cats kept two clean sheets in that course. The home side has hit the back of the net only four times in the last five matches. On the other hand, Hull City have also scored an average of just one goal per game in the same duration. Three of the last five meetings between these have concluded with a low-scoring total and we expect the same trend to be featured in this fixture.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Sunderland has found the back of the net in all games at the Stadium of Light in 2023. The Black Cats kept a clean sheet against Burnley in the last game but Sunderland's defence has been breached in the previous four home games consecutively. Hull City have also been on the scoring side in three of the previous four fixtures away from MKM Stadium, keeping zero clean sheets. The two clubs have contributed BTTS outcomes in the last three games against each other and we predict the same kind of result in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw

The Black Cats have secured a scoring string at Stadium of Light but they scored only once in each of the previous five home games. On the other hand, Hull City have also been restricted to one goal per game in three of the recent four road fixtures. However, the team has also avoided conceding a high total of goals recently, leaking only three goals in the last three games away from MKM Stadium. The reverse fixture this season of these teams ended with a 1-1 scoreline and the current scenario lets us predict the same for this encounter as well.

Sunderland vs Hull: Form, Recent Games, and News

Sunderland Preview

The Black Cats entertained league leaders Burnley in the last game and clipped them to a goalless draw at Stadium of Light. Sunderland was also able to limit the outfit in fourth place, Luton Town to a 1-1 score in the second-last league affair. The absence of Ross Steward and three other players due to injury will undoubtedly hinder Sunderland's preparations for this game.

Sunderland are being let down by their inability to turn games as evidenced by their results against Burnley and Luton. Their efforts are not being justly rewarded as they remain seven points off the play–offs and will be looking for a much–needed win at home against mid–table Hull City. The Black Cats have not lost any of the last eight H2H league meetings with the Tigers and will be hoping to capitalize on that success to reignite their promotion push.

Hull Preview

The Tigers hosted Rotherham United at MKM Stadium in the last game and saved a point with a scoreline of 0-0. Hull City are without a victory in the previous four league games and is dropped to the seventeenth position on the table. Head coach Liam Rrosenior will have to deal with the absence of right-winger Vaughun Covil before this game who is out due to a cruciate ligament injury.

Hull has been struggling to find their scoring touch on the road in recent weeks and has managed just three goals across their last six away league games. They will no doubt want to put in a better performance against Sunderland, especially after their frustrating draw against 10–man Rotherham in their last match. Rosenior has stated he needs to address the lack of ruthlessness his team displays and they will be hoping to prove that against the similarly struggling Black Cats.
