Sunderland vs Hull Betting Tips &— Sunderland to Win

A mere 24 days since their previous encounter, which saw Sunderland secure a slim 1:0 away win, these teams are set to face off once more. This time, Sunderland is looking to leverage their impressive home record.

The Black Cats, led by Michael Beale, have secured five victories in their last seven home games and are currently positioned just below the playoff spots. On the other hand, Hull City comes with an unfavorable away record, suffering four losses in their last six away games. Indeed, after a midweek FA Cup loss to Birmingham, the Tigers have now been defeated in five of their last six matches.

Despite being only one point apart in the Championship standings, with Hull in ninth place, Sunderland appears to be making progress under Beale’s management, while Hull, also known as the Tigers, seems to be in a downturn following a good start to the season.

Moreover, Hull has been unable to secure a victory against Sunderland in the Championship since 2014, with Sunderland remaining undefeated in their last 10 matches. At this location, Sunderland has seen three victories and three draws in their last six games against Hull, which includes an extraordinary 4:4 draw in their latest meet-up in April.

Considering all of these factors, Sunderland look to offer some decent value to maintain their solid winning record at the Stadium of Light. With the benefit of a free midweek, I expect Beale´s side to be fresher and given their strong home performances of late, I’m confident the hosts can pick up another three points to maintain their promotion push.
