Hull vs Liverpool Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Hull’s Premier League resurgence continues to gather supporters after their excellent effort at Old Trafford that saw them come away with a point on Wednesday. This was a far cry from the team that were battered 4-1 by Fulham at the weekend, and the signs of improvement under Marco Silva have been promising in the Premier League.

Their record still leaves a lot to be desired, with one win, three draws, and five defeats in their last nine league games. They have managed to score in four of their last five matches though, whilst their defence has markedly improved in recent weeks.

At home Hull are proving difficult to beat as well, losing just one of their last six at the KCOM Stadium and picking up a total of nine points. They have scored in all but one of these games too, so Liverpool’s defence will come under some pressure on Saturday.

The visitors managed a 1-1 draw at home to league leaders Chelsea on Tuesday, but they have still won just one game in 2017. During this period they have drawn four and lost four of their nine matches, including a dismal FA Cup exit at home to Wolves last Saturday.

This has left Liverpool slipping down the Premier League table, and they now occupy 4th position. There is still just a point separating them from 2nd placed Spurs, but below them both Manchester City and Manchester United are waiting to pounce.

In the Premier League Liverpool have failed to win each of their last four games and away from home they have won two of their last six. They have managed just three clean sheets on the road all season, but they have only failed to score once as well. Add this to the fact that star player Sadio Mane should be back in action after his African Cup of Nations campaign and the chances of Hull keeping a clean sheet look pretty slim.

Mane’s return will be a huge boost to the Liverpool squad. The Senegalese international has netted nine league goals this season and has been a big miss over the past few weeks. I think he could mark his return with a bang, and odds of 5/4 for him to score anytime look good value for our goalscorer predictions.

I don’t think Liverpool will keep a clean sheet here though. Their defence is too fragile and Hull’s recent good form suggests that odds of 4/5 for Both Teams to Score is a good value bet. I think Hull can take something from this game too, so I’m backing a 1-1 correct score predictions at 9/1.
