Hull vs Everton Match Summary

Hull vs Everton at the MKM Stadium pits a promoted side still finding its feet in the Premier League against a stubborn Everton outfit who arrive as the favourites for this fixture.

Sergej Jakirović won promotion from the Championship with Hull, beating Middlesbrough at Wembley to seal it, and the club rewarded him with a new deal running until the summer of 2028.

Everton travel with off-field noise growing, after The Friedkin Group confirmed it is exploring new investment options, including the potential sale of a controlling interest in the club.

On the head-to-head front, Everton have scored at least 2 goals in 10 of their last 12 matches against Hull in all competitions, which feeds straight into our Hull vs Everton prediction.

Hull vs Everton Form

The Tigers have been stubborn at home, yet to concede after beating Manchester United and drawing with Aston Villa. Their unbeaten run ended at Newcastle just before the international break, though, and a Hull win has landed 4 times out of the last 10 matches against all opponents. Oliver McBurnie leads the line, but goals have not flowed freely.

David Moyes' Everton are yet to taste defeat in any competition this season, and they own the joint-best defence in the division after conceding just three goals. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is the spark behind Thierno Barry, getting three or more shots away in each of his last three Premier League outings.

Hull

Hull still have a huge injury list, and Jack Butland is among those who will definitely miss out, leaving K. Tzolakis in line to start in goal. The good news is that Hidemasa Morita and Matt Targett are among five players who could return, which keeps the Hull vs Everton lineups on the home side open until late.

Everton

Vitalii Mykolenko is struggling with a leg injury picked up on Ukraine duty, yet he still features at left-back in the predicted XI. Christian Nørgaard and Merlin Röhl are doubts as well, but both could feature.

Hull vs Everton Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Everton to win, with Hull kept off the scoresheet. The projection gives the Toffees a 46.96% win probability, comfortably clear of the home side. Hull's projected tally is just 0.98 goals, and against Moyes' miserly back line that shapes our Hull vs Everton best bets: back the away side and back their defence to do the heavy lifting.

Best Bets

Both Teams To Score: No. A low-scoring game where at least one side fails to find the net. The projection puts both teams scoring at just 47.23%, which makes the No side the stronger play and the standout value on the board. There have also been under 2.5 goals in 5 of Everton's last 6 Premier League games, so their matches rarely turn into shootouts.

Everton to win in the Win Market. Everton are undefeated in their last 5 Premier League matches and sit higher on the log than Hull. Add a Hull injury list that keeps Butland and four others out for certain, and the Toffees are the side to be with.

Hull vs Everton Bet Builder

Our Hull vs Everton bet builder tips pair a Matt Crooks card and over 1.5 Hull cards with Thierno Barry's shots and shots-on-target lines.

Matt Crooks has picked up a booking in all three of his Premier League outings this term, and Hull's aggressive edge in the engine room makes him the obvious name for a card.

Thierno Barry over 2.5 shots fits Everton's shoot-on-sight approach, with the forward firing three or more efforts away in every one of his four Premier League appearances.

Barry over 0.5 shots on target is the natural partner, having found the target at least once in four of his previous five Premier League outings.

Over 1.5 Hull cards rounds it off. Oliver McBurnie has seen yellow in three of his last four Premier League matches, and Hull struggle to avoid fouling in dangerous areas.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 23/4 and is as short as 9/2 elsewhere. That's a R13 difference in potential winnings from best to worst.

Hull vs Everton Talking Points

The flank to watch is Hull's right. The Tigers love attacking down that side, and Mohamed Belloumi, fresh from signing a contract extension, lines up there against an Everton left where Mykolenko is nursing a leg problem. Hull's back five spends a lot of time in its own half and does not keep the ball well, so their best routes are counters and long balls up to Oliver McBurnie. That matters, because defending counter attacks is a weak spot for Everton. At the other end, the Toffees create plenty but can be wasteful in front of goal, which is why Hull's strong set-piece defending could keep this messy and low on goals. The Hull vs Everton betting odds lean towards the away side, with Everton at 11/10 with 10Bet. Hull, by contrast, are 11/4 with Bet365.
