- Hull are unbeaten at home in the Premier League 2026/2027, W1, D0, L0 and have scored 2 goals.
- Aston Villa are yet to win on the road in the Premier League 2026/2027 and have conceded 4 goals in 1 game.
- Hull have won their last 3 games, including a 2-0 home win over Man Utd and 1-0 away win at Coventry City.
Aston Villa have been unconvincing so far
Aston Villa are 1.89 favourites for the trip to The MKM Stadium in England to face Hull City on Saturday, with The Tigers sitting at 3.85 and the draw at 3.55 in the betting.
The Villans look overpriced for this one considering Villa have played only one game and Hull have made the better start, sitting 2nd with 6 points from 2 games - a strong start by any standards.
Aston Villa are 17th with 0 points from 1 game, so the pressure is already on The Villans and it won't be getting any easier this weekend.
Hull are clearly overpriced at 3.85 given the two sides have 2 wins from 3 games between them and the Tigers are the one coming into the game in the better form with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in their last 5.
Hull’s gameplan should suit visitors
Sergej Jakirovic has got Hull set up well for this game. They are compact and direct, pressing selectively with a series of traps before hitting teams on the counter-attack.
Liam Millar is Hull's top Premier League 2026/2027 scorer with 1 goal in 2 games, but Mohamed Belloumi has been a spark up top with 1 assist in 2 games. His creativity has been key to Hull's quick starts to games and the quality of the chances they create.
Unai Emery's Villa are a fluid, structure-heavy team with some organisation in their pressing and they play vertically through the half-spaces at pace, but this could be a tough game for the visitors as Hull's style should clash nicely with them.
The midfield battle will be key and it's impossible to back against Villa's better quality but I feel an upset is live against the odds as the form book suggests the home side will get a result on Saturday.
Aston Villa are the slight betting favorite for main bets, but under 2.5 goals at 1.95 also looks the way to go as an alternative and it fits the billing for what should be a tense, tactically astute game.
