Hull
The "Tigers" in this season fail to impress with consistency but occupy a commendable sixth place in the league table. In the last fixture, Hull succumbed in a tussle away against Bristol City with a scoreline of 2-3, faltering in the final moments of the encounter. This defeat marked the team's third in five matches. There is a discernible impression that the club may find it challenging to sustain the battle for a playoff berth. Three players will be absent from the upcoming skirmish due to injuries.
Sunderland
The "Black Cats" undoubtedly set their sights on securing promotion to the Premier League, yet the club currently lags behind the schedule, holding a modest ninth position in the league table, trailing the top six by a mere two points. In the last fixture, Sunderland played host to Coventry and was deemed the favorite, but astonishingly suffered a 0-3 defeat. This loss marked the second consecutive defeat for the "Black Cats." Injuries will hinder the participation of two players, while the availability of three remains uncertain.
Noteworthy Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
The adversaries routinely engage in goal-laden exchanges, evident in the last four encounters, all culminating in draws. In 14 out of 23 games featuring Sunderland, a bet on a total exceeding 2.5 goals proved successful, mirroring a similar trend for Hull.
Prediction
Direct competitors will lock horns, with a mere three points separating them in the league table. Bookmakers refrained from designating a clear favorite. While Hull hosts the fixture and sits higher in the league table, there is a lack of certainty regarding the victory of the "Tigers" even under these circumstances. We contend that the opponents will once again exchange goals, and we shall place our wager on this outcome.
