Hull vs Sunderland – Preview and betting tips

Hull City will host Sunderland today from 19:45 in one of the most balanced games of this round in Premier League. The game is part of the 28th fixture and both teams are coming after defeats last weekend.

Hull City lost against Stoke City away, 0-1 and they still have some emotions. To be more precise, The Tigers have 26 points and a 25-36 goal difference, being on the 15th place at the moment, only four ahead the first relegation position. We will see a 3-5-2 formation from the hosts, but they will be without Snodgrass, Rosenior and Chester, all three being injured at the moment.

Sunderland are in a bad situation too, coming after four games in a row without victory. The Black Cats lost 0-2 at Old Trafford last weekend and they need a good result here, considering that they are on the 16 place with 25 points, having only three more than the red line. Thei goal difference is a very bad one too, with 22 goals scored and 38 conceded. Adam Johnson is suspended, while Rodwell, Jones and Giaccherini are injured.

Hull vs Sunderland probable lineups:
Hull (3-5-2):  McGregor – Dawson, Bruce, McShane – Elmohamady, Livermore, Huddlestone, Meyler, Robertson – N’Doye, Hernandez.
Sunderland (4-1-4-1): Pantilimon, Reveillere, O’Shea, Brown, Aanholt – Cattermole – Buckley, Gomez, Larsson, Wickham – Defoe.

Prediction: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.53
Both teams have real problems in the attack, proof that they have less than one goal scored per game so far. More than thare, two of the last three meetings on this stadium ended with maximum one goal.
