Hull City vs Sunderland Match Analysis & Prediction
20/10/2024 5:00 pm
Looking to bounce back following a heavy defeat last time out, Hull City play host to promotion chasers Sunderland at the MKM Stadium on Sunday in the Championship.
Three successive wins over Stoke City, strugglers Cardiff City and Queens Park Rangers by an aggregate scoreline of 10-3 over the past month suggested that Hull had turned a page following a stuuttering start to the season, but a 4-0 defeat at Norwich City prior to the international break brought supporters back down to Earth once again.
Despite mustering up over 15 shots at Carrow Road, the Tigers were unable to breach the net of Angus Gunn and George Long over the course of the 90 minutes, with efforts from Marcelino Nunez, Josh Sargent, Kaide Gordon and Borja Sainz securing maximum points for the hosts at Carrow Road.
After winning three, drawing three and losing three of their opening nine Championship matches, Hull are currently sitting in 13th position in the standings, four points behind sixth-placed Watford and five points better off than 22nd-placed Queens Park Rangers.
Meanwhile, Sunderland appear to be heading in the right direction towards the Premier League so far in 2024-25, with the arrival of French tactician Regis Le Bris working well alongside an exciting crop of young talent.
After overcoming newly-promoted Derby County on October 1, Sunderland proved that they can mix it with the best in the division three days later at the Stadium of Light, where a comical Illan Meslier own goal in added-on time resulted in a 2-2 draw with Leeds United.
Scoring the opening goal of the game against Leeds, 17-year-old wonderkid Chris Rigg stole the headlines on the night once again for the Black Cats, with the academy graduate showing why he is attracting interest from Premier League giants Manchester United and Liverpool.
Heading into a busy run of fixtures prior to the November international break, Sunderland are sitting pretty at the top of the Championship standings, level on points with second-placed Sheffield United, who were handed a two-point deduction at the start of the campaign.
Hull City vs. Sunderland Head to head
