- Hull City have won 1 and drawn 2 of their 3 home Premier League 2026/2027 games and have conceded only 2 goals at The MKM Stadium.
- Ipswich Town have been better on the road, scoring 7 goals in 4 away games, but have lost 3 of those 4.
Hull and Ipswich look even in the betting
Hull City are 11th in the Premier League 2026/2027 table with 9 points from 7 games, 1 place and 1 point below Saturday's visitors Ipswich Town, who have 10 points from 8 matches. Both teams have been in poor form with Hull having failed to win their last 5 matches (W0 D2 L3) and Ipswich 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats from their last 5 (W1 D1 L3) across all competitions.
This has left Hull City in need of a win after they followed up a 2-2 home draw with Everton with a 1-0 loss to Fulham. Sergej Jakirovic has set them up in a very compact back-five or narrow 4-3-3/5-4-1 shape which has kept them in games and allowed them to hit on the counter, but they haven't been finishing the job.
Ipswich have been much better going forward, particularly on the road in the Premier League 2026/2027, where they have scored 7 goals in 4 matches. However, the Tractor Boys have lost 3 of those 4 and they come into this looking to build on a decent 2-1 home win over Fulham, a 3-2 defeat at Manchester City and a 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest. Gary O'Neil has the team pressing the ball with much more intensity and hunting the second balls and this could well be a scrappy encounter with plenty of effort from both teams.
Ipswich have H2H edge but both clubs are in transition
The Tractor Boys have won 3 of the last 4 meetings, including a 1-0 Championship home win seven months ago, and Hull City have failed to win either of their last 2 home games against Ipswich, so the visitors arrive with a mental edge for this clash.
Ipswich have been the sharper side over the last few months and their greater match fitness might just give them the edge in this one, although we really feel it will be a narrow match-up. Hull are unbeaten at home in the Premier League 2026/2027, but Ipswich's superior overall record in this fixture should be enough for the visitors to avoid defeat and that makes them good value at 31/20 to double their tally against the Tigers.
The odds are all even at 31/20 for Hull and Ipswich to avoid defeat with the draw at 5/2, which is an intriguing proposition. Ipswich haven't been great defensively away from home, so over 2.5 goals at 4/5 is our standout market for a game that could be in the hands of the finishers on Saturday.
