Tigers to roar to win
We kick off our Hull vs Stoke predictions by backing the home side to run out winners. Neither have been in particularly great form in general terms with Hull having taken just four points from the last 15 available and Stoke being just the one point better off over the same period. What separates the sides is the respective home and away form. Stoke have won once, lost three times and suffered an EFL Cup exit to lower league Morecambe in their past five away games. Hull meanwhile have won three of the four home games they've played this season. For that reason, we are backing a Tigers win.
We'll see goals at both ends
Our next tip for this game is one that sees us back both teams to score. Hull have seen four of their last five games end with goals at both ends whilst 75% of their home league games this season have also seen both teams notch. Stoke meanwhile have seen three of their last five games end with both teams scoring with 50% of their league away matches ending in that manner. On top of that, half of the last four head to head meetings have seen both teams score too. All things considered, we think this bet offers reasonable value.

A midtable clash where both teams need the points
It might be relatively early days in the 2022/23 season but already these teams look destined to end the campaign in mid table with neither having any form of consistency to their game right now. A clash against one another, however, should be viewed as a good opportunity to bag three points for both sides.
Hull's form has been considerably better at home than away and they'll be hoping the home faithful can cheer them through somewhat of an injury crisis here. They go into this game with nine players ruled out including Allahyar Sayyadmanesh and Dogukan Sinik.
Hull City Predicted lineup – Ingram, Jones, Figueiredo, Slater, Greaves, Elder, Woods, Coyle, Tuffan, Tetteh, Estupinan
Stoke arrive in this match in similar form to their hosts but with a much cleaner bill of health. That said, they do still have a couple of players missing. Harry Souttar and Harry Clarke are among those to miss out.
Stoke City Predicted lineup – Bonham, Wilmot, Flint, Fox, Brown, Smallbone, Baker, Clucas, Fosu, Delano, Campbell
