Sunderland vs Hull City Prediction

Sunderland have really been struggling for goals recently but a combination of hard work and good luck got them a result at last away to Bournemouth. That was preceded by a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Arsenal and back-to-back 1-0 losses away to West Ham and Southampton respectively.

Hull found the EFL Cup to be a welcome distraction when they stopped the rot by beating Bristol City 1-2 away. Back in the league, they were unlucky not to get anything in a 1-0 defeat away to Watford and kept up the good work to move to within a point of safety after the win over Southampton.

Sunderland will be glad to have picked up their first Premier League win but are still looking at an uphill struggle to survive. Hull are 5 points ahead of them and, so a win would give them a chance to get off the bottom and maybe close the gap on some of teams above. However, Hull Battled for the win against Southampton and will be difficult to overcome. These two sides might just cancel each other out and BetVictor’s odds of 6/1 about a 1-1 draw are are appealing.
