Stoke To Win

Stoke have picked up two wins from their opening five matches, which means they are firmly in mid table heading into this round of fixtures. Scoring goals has been a problem for the Potters but they won’t need a great deal of firepower to get the better of Hull.

The Tigers have also struggled going forward but unlike Stoke, they are yet to taste victory in the league. They come into this clash in the back of consecutive 2-0 defeats.

What’s more, Hull also have an incredibly poor record in games against Stoke. They have picked up one win in the last seven head-to-heads. Over that period, the Tigers are scoring an average of just 0.57 goals per game and are conceding 2.14.

Both Teams To Score – No

Both of these side’s matches have seen very few goals so far in this campaign so our first betting angle is backing against both teams to score. 

After five games in the Championship, Hull matches have seen the second-fewest goals with an average of just 1.6 per game. The Tigers have contributed with just two goals in their five matches and have only found the net once on the road. This betting angle has landed in Hull’s last three matches in the league. 

Stoke’s league matches so far have seen slightly more goals with an average of 1.8 per game but that is still the third-fewest in the second tier. Like Hull, the Potters are averaging less than a goal per game. At least one side has kept a clean sheet in four of Stoke’s five league matches so far.

The recent head-to-heads also suggest that this is a good bet.  Both teams have scored in just one of the last six meetings between Stoke and Hull. Those matches have seen an average of 2.17 goals. 

Over 1.5 Fouls For Million Manhoef

Hull are forcing an average of 12.6 fouls per game in the Championship this season, above the league average of 12.02. Stoke made 18 fouls in this fixture in the last campaign so we are singling out one of their players to make fouls here.

Players more heavily involved in the defensive phase are usually the main contenders to pick up fouls but Million Manhoef stands out for Stoke here. The winger covered a lot of ground in the team’s most recent match against Oxford United but more importantly, he made two fouls in the match. In fact, Manhoef has reached the two foul mark in his last two league appearances and made at least one foul in his last four.
