Hull City

WLDLWL

Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Derby County in Championship action, Hull City and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

In that game, Hull City had 63% possession and 15 shots at goal with 2 on target. Derby County got 6 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Nathaniel Phillips (84') scored 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) will be missing for Portsmouth manager John Mousinho.

In all likelihood, Pompey could use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one with Ben Killip, Andre Dozzell, Conor Shaughnessy, Rob Atkinson, Connor Ogilvie, Freddie Potts, Isaac Hayden, Terry Devlin, Harvey Blair, Joshua Murphy and Colby Bishop.

📋 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 names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We believe The Tigers seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, starting 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.
