Match Preview – 16.00 Kick-Off at Bet365 Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent

Hull City have improved dramatically in 2017 after naming Marco Silva as their new coach, but they are still unable to get the desired points away from home. Hull City only won once away, and that was at Swansea back in August. Their last four away matches ended in defeats, and a change is needed if they are to survive in the Premier League. That turnaround could be achieved at Stoke City who lost their last four fixtures and seem a bit complacent in recent weeks. Stoke City won at Hull City in October, though.

Mar 18th 2017 Stoke 1:2 Chelsea - Premier League

Stoke City vs Hull City Predictions

Stoke City are considered favourites because of their higher position in the table, better overall squad and Hull City s awful away record. However, given the momentum of both teams, it could be tempting to use the relatively high odds (1.85) on Hull City taking at least a point from this fixture. Hull City are much more motivated, play outstanding attacking football at times and should be capable of getting the elusive away result.

Another interesting option is to use the odds on over 2.5 goals (2.10). Hull City's last four matches produced 17 goals, and they should be expected to find the net, but are also incapable of keeping a clean sheet. Stoke City scored against both Chelsea and Liverpool, but ended up losing both home fixtures after conceding twice.
