Stoke vs Hull Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th September 2024

Stoke enjoy home advantage, when visitors Hull swing by on Friday for a clash in the Championship. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

Stoke approach the next Championship round as number 13 in the table, having claimed six points this season so far. With five games behind them, Hull amassed three points, placing them as number 22 before their next fixture.

Stoke go into their next Championship match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding ten. That amounts to an average of one per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring five times.

Hull managed a bearable 11 goals from their past ten games, creating an average of 1.1 goals per game. They conceded 12 goals in total, and while claiming three clean sheets, they conceded 1.2 goals an average per game.

Hull were knocked out cold when Stoke took a 2-0 win in their latest encounter. It served as pay back for the 3-1 defeat, Hull handed out in the game before.

Stoke vs Hull Prediction

Stoke Form

Stoke recorded a win, a loss and a draw in their previous three matches, where they first beat Plymouth 0-1. They were then defeated 1-0 against Oxford, before drawing 1-1 against Fleetwood. Stoke won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Championship, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 12 and conceded five goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Hull might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Championship looks the most realistic scenario.

Hull Form

A draw is all that prevents Hull from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed this single draw against Millwall as the match ended 0-0 before getting trounced against Leeds by a 2-0 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Sheffield United won the game and the exact score was 0-2. Hull claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches reads seven goals conceded and seven scored.

A top half finish is the bare minimum Hull will expect from this season. The visitors are targeting a spot in an international tournament and know a good start will leave them in a good stead.

You don't look for Stoke or Hull, to provide with a lot of entertainment currently, as both are playing mostly tight matches with few goals. The value-bet lies with under 2.5 goals this coming Friday.

Stoke are yet to play a draw this season, in stead recording two wins and three defeats in the Championship. Hull are yet to win this season, having played five games, in stead showing off three draws and two defeats.
