Looking at the last nine Championship meetings between these two clubs, the rivalry has been keenly contested. Focusing specifically on matches played at Stoke City’s home ground:
- In the last five home matches against Hull, Stoke City has recorded 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses.
- Recently, results have been mixed, with Hull securing wins at Stoke in September 2024 (3-1) and September 2023 (3-1).
- Stoke, however, secured a dominant 5-1 victory at home in March 2020 and a 2-0 win in September 2021.
This historical record at the Bet365 Stadium suggests a finely balanced contest, with neither side holding a dominant home advantage in recent times.
Our Prediction
While the historical head-to-head at Stoke’s home ground shows a balanced record, the current league standings and defensive statistics heavily favor Stoke City. Stoke’s position at 3rd in the table, combined with their outstanding defensive record (only 12 goals conceded in 17 games) and a strong goal difference of +13, points to a team in excellent form and robust at the back. Hull City, despite their respectable 7th position, has a significantly weaker defensive record, having conceded 27 goals in the same number of games.
Stoke’s ability to keep goals out, coupled with their consistent performance this season, should be enough to overcome a Hull side that, while capable of scoring, is prone to conceding. We anticipate Stoke City’s defensive strength and overall league form to be the decisive factors in this encounter.
Our betting tip for this Championship clash is:
