Match Preview – 15.00 Kick-Off at St Mary's Stadium, Southampton

Hull City are making an extraordinary effort to stay in the Premier League ever since the Portuguese coach Marco Silva took over, and they are currently above the drop zone in 17th place, two points ahead of Swansea. Hull City are taking most of their points at home, and their away record is disastrous with one win and 14 losses in 17 games. This makes them underdogs against Southampton who are playing some positive football in midtable, but Hull City can still be very dangerous, and this game is extremely unpredictable.

Southampton vs Hull City Predictions

Southampton have been playing some attractive football in recent months, and many of their games produced a lot of goals. Hull City should be adventurous too in search of a rare away win. Hull City have a very problematic defence, though, having conceded 15 goals in the last five away games – all of them ended with no points. Therefore, we can expect at least three goals in this fixture, and the odds on over 2.5 goals are extremely good at 1.80. This is certainly good value for money. You can even try and use better odds on over 3.5 goals at 2.75. Such an outcome between Southampton and Hull City is much likelier than the odds suggest.
