Hull City

WLDLWL

Since a losing effort in their last game against Derby County in Championship action, Hull City and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Hull City managed 63% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Derby County got 6 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Nathaniel Phillips (84') was the scorer for Derby County.

It is worth noting that Hull City have failed to get amongst the goals over their last six clashes, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those matches, The Tigers have also seen the overall goal aggregate of their opponents equal 5. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained here.

Coming into this clash, Hull City haven’t won away from home in the past 2 league games.

📋 Team News: Portsmouth

Ibane Bowat (Patellar tendon rupture), Jacob Farrell (Knee surgery) and Hayden Matthews (Ankle surgery) won’t be available for Portsmouth gaffer John Mousinho.

In our view, Pompey will possibly use the 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Ben Killip, Andre Dozzell, Conor Shaughnessy, Rob Atkinson, Connor Ogilvie, Freddie Potts, Isaac Hayden, Terry Devlin, Harvey Blair, Joshua Murphy and Colby Bishop.

ℹ️ Team News: Hull City

Hull City boss Rubén Sellés has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Doğukan Sinik (Leg injury), Louie Barry (Knee injury), Liam Millar (Cruciate ligament injury) and Mohamed Belloumi (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that The Tigers seem most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system using Ivor Pandur, Lewie Coyle, John Egan, Charlie Hughes, Sean McLoughlin, Steven Alzate, Gustavo Puerta, Nordin Amrabat, Joe Gelhardt, Abu Kamara and Kyle Joseph.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Portsmouth may not find it easy to put one past this Hull City lineup who will likely gain the upper hand.

Our tip is therefore for a very even contest with a 0-1 winning score for Hull City at the conclusion of the game.

Let’s see.
