Sunderland vs Hull Analysis
Sunderland
Sunderland were effectively eliminated from the Championship title race on Monday evening when they were beaten 2-1 by Leeds, though the Black Cats can strengthen their already strong playoff claims with a win over Hull on Saturday.
Regis Les Bris’s side have been doing plenty of good work in the north east this term and remain unbeaten at the Stadium Of Light in the Championship, winning ten and drawing four of their 16 tests there since August.
With that impressive record a factor, Sunderland have been backed as favourites on the best Championship betting sites to oust a Hull outfit they’ve already beaten once this term (1-0 in October).
Team news: Jayden Danns, Tom Watson, Ajibola Alese and Niall Huggins are in the treatment room at present.
Predicted Lineup: Patterson, Hume, Ballard, O’Nien, Cirkin, Neil, Bellingham, Roberts, Rigg, Le Fee, Isidor
Hull
Hull need Championship points for different reasons as they continue to battle bravely against the drop near the foot of the division.
The December appointment of Spanish coach Ruben Selles has inspired some improvement in Hull’s results, though they head to Sunderland on the back of two losses and a draw in their last three assignments.
Hull did manage to earn maximum points in three of their last four away games, beating highflying duo Blackburn (1-0) and Sheffield United (3-0) during that surge, however, they remain clear underdogs on betting sites for football for Saturday’s contest.
Team news: Hull could be without Doukan Sinik, Finley Burns, Charlie Hughes, Kasey Palmer, Mohamed Belloumi and Liam Millar on Saturday.
Predicted Lineup: Pandur, Coyle, Egan, Jones, McLoughlin, Alzate, Slater, Gelhardt, Crooks, Barry, Pedro

Sunderland vs Hull Prediction
Sunderland (alongside Burnley) hold one of the Championship’s two remaining unbeaten home records this season and the Black Cats’ ability to carve out positive results at the Stadium Of Light could get them over the line against Hull. Sunderland should be motivated to perform following their recent loss at Leeds and we’re tipping them to bounce back here.
Prediction: Sunderland to win – 8/13 (-163) – RhinoBet
Sunderland vs Hull – The Ultimate Bet:
Both teams to score – 19/20 (-105)
Six of Sunderland’s last eight home games in the Championship produced goals at both ends and the BTTS market could be ripe for plundering again on Saturday when Hull visit the north east.
Hull have been formidable travellers in recent weeks and forced victories in three of their last four away games despite facing a string of top teams. A dangerous City can threaten Sunderland on the counter on Saturday, so expect this contest to ebb and flow.
