Hull vs Man Utd Lineups, Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds

Hull vs Man United Summary

Opening weekend brings a proper mismatch on paper as newly-promoted Hull host Manchester United at the MKM Stadium. If you are hunting a Hull vs Man Utd prediction, the away side start heavy favourites.

Hull are back in the top flight for the first time since 2016/17, having come up through the Championship. The Tigers carry a huge injury list into their Premier League return.

United could not have asked for a softer start, and they are clear favourites here, backed by fresh midfield signings Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans set for their debuts.

The head-to-head reads well for the visitors too: United are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 matches against Hull in all competitions, with five clean sheets in their last six against them.

Hull vs Man United Form

The Tigers arrive under real pressure, having lost their last three Premier League matches and conceded at least two goals in each of those three. They sit 11th on the early form rankings, and with a stretched, patched-up back line, keeping things tight against a side of United's quality looks a tall order for Oliver McBurnie and company.

United, by contrast, are humming. The Red Devils have won five of their last six in the Premier League, winning at both half-time and full-time in five of those six. Their games have been open, with over 2.5 goals in nine of their last 11 top-flight outings. Bruno Fernandes remains the man to pull the strings in the engine room here.

Hull vs Man Utd Lineups & Team News

Injuries & Suspensions Hull: Jack Butland (Injured/out), Charlie Hughes (Injured/out), Oscar Zambrano (Injured/out), Darko Gyabi (Injured/out), Eliot Matazo (Injured/out), Matty Jacob (Injured/out), Joe Gelhardt (Injured/out), Cody Drameh (Injured/doubtful), Hidemasa Morita (Injured/doubtful)

Man Utd: Mason Mount (Injured/doubtful), Karl Darlow (Injured/doubtful)

Hull head into their Premier League return with a huge injury list, with up to nine players potentially missing out. Cody Drameh and Hidemasa Morita will be hoping to be passed fit, but Jack Butland, Charlie Hughes, Oscar Zambrano, Darko Gyabi, Eliot Matazo, Matty Jacob and striker Joe Gelhardt are all set to sit this one out. That opens the door for a host of new signings, including record arrival Nobel Mendy.

United are in far healthier shape. Mason Mount is doubtful after picking up a knock against PSG in pre-season, while Karl Darlow is still recovering from a minor issue. Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans are in line to make their Manchester United debuts in a new-look engine room, with Bryan Mbeumo likely to lead the line behind Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha.

Hull vs Man Utd Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: This has a comfortable away win written all over it. United carry a 68% implied probability of victory into this one, the projected scoreline points to a 2-0 result, and against a Hull side missing up to nine players and shipping goals for fun, we are going with a routine United win. Hull's best odds sit at 17/2 with AK Bets, but that price reflects just how one-sided this looks.

Best Bets

Over 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. With United expected to control the tempo against a badly weakened Hull back line, the goals should flow freely at the MKM. United's games have gone over 2.5 in nine of their last 11 Premier League outings, and the projected total for this fixture points well north of that line.

Man Utd -1 in the Handicaps market. With United carrying a 68% implied probability of victory and a projected goal spread that favours a winning margin of two or more, the handicap looks well within reach here. Hull's extensive injury list only strengthens the case for the visitors to win by more than a single goal.

Hull vs Man Utd Bet Builder

Our Hull vs Man Utd bet builder tips combine Oliver McBurnie to score anytime, over 4.5 total cards and over 5.5 United corners into a three-leg selection with solid head-to-head backing.

McBurnie is the obvious pick to score anytime for Hull, having found the net in two of his last three appearances against Manchester United in the Premier League.

The over 4.5 total cards leg looks strong, with five or more cards shown in each of the last three meetings between these two sides in the Premier League.

Over 5.5 United corners rounds it off nicely, as the Red Devils have racked up six or more corners in four of their last five matches against Hull in the Premier League.

Hull have picked up two or more cards in each of their last four matches against United in the Premier League, adding weight to the cards leg on what should be a niggly afternoon.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11/1 and is as short as 19/2 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of R15 from best to worst price.

Hull vs Man Utd Talking Points

Good news for the DStv Premiership faithful: SuperSport will carry this one live across South Africa on DStv and DStv Stream at 13:30 SAST, so you can settle in for opening weekend without missing a kick.

On the pitch, the story is a heavy favourite against a promoted side already tipped to struggle, with Hull returning to the top flight for the first time since the 2016/17 campaign.

United head coach Michael Carrick has publicly rejected any talk of an easy start, warning his squad not to take Hull lightly, which is exactly the right tone.

Just do not write United's afternoon as a formality, and expect the visitors to treat this as a serious workout rather than a stroll against limited opposition.
