Hull City vs Sunderland: Preview and Predictions

Hull City vs Sunderland
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, 6th May 2017
Kick off at 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: KC Stadium, Hull.

The Tigers will be looking to take a huge step towards the Premier League survival against Sunderland on Saturday. In the previous round, Hull snatched a point from a goalless draw against Southampton, but with Swansea breathing at their necks they must continue with the solid performances in the remaining fixtures.

David Moyes’side is officially relegated to the Championship after the defeat last Saturday. After a swift counter attack, Bournemouth’s King sealed Sunderland’s fate in the 88th minute.

Hull City

The hosts are in the safe 17th position with 34 collected. However, both Swansea and Boro will be looking to overtake their position in the remaining three games, hence the victory on Saturday is a must for Tigers.

Hull City collected the vast majority of points at KC Stadium – 28 out of 34. In 17 encounters at home turf, they registered 8 victories, 4 draws, and 5 defeats with 27 goals scored and 26 allowed. Currently, Hull City are unbeaten at KC Stadium since 2016 when they welcomed Manchester City.

Sunderland

After a horrendous campaign, David Moyes faces another fizzle as his side is relegated to the lower tier. Sunderland are without a win since the beginning of February when they stunned Crystal Palace with 0-4.

In 16 games on the road this season, the guests picked up only 7 points from two victories and a single draw.

Hull City vs Sunderland: Head-to-head

The Tigers were beaten in December’s reverse with 3-0. However, in the last five meetings between the two sides, Hull City have won three outings.

Hull City vs Sunderland: Prediction

The hosts will be under pressure as they have the imperative to register another three points – otherwise, they could find themselves in the last three. On the other side, Sunderland have nothing to play for and they might exhibit the best performance this season.
