Hull City v Stoke City: Prediction
There will hardly be anything in this game to separate the sides and we shouldn’t expect many goals as both teams will play out a midfield battle and throw caution to the air. A draw doesn’t really help either teams cause but this is something that may well occur.
Stoke actually have a great record here and we could look into the handicap market as our main bet for Stoke. Watch out for Marko Arnautovic for the away side that has been on good form lately and is great value to score during the match.
