Hull City come into the game having picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at Watford in the Championship last weekend. It was a largely uneventful match but The Tigers will feel they had the better of the second half and will be happy with their performance.
However, that result means Hull City have recorded just 1 victory from their 6 most recent Championship fixtures. They have lost at home to Blackburn Rovers, Middlesborough, and Reading plus been held to a draw at Millwall and Watford.
The only win came at Cardiff City and Hull City scored 2 goals in the final 15 minutes to take maximum points.
Home form has been poor and Hull City have suffered 4 straight defeats in their most recent home clashes in the Championship. In their 8 most recent home matches in all competitions, Hull City have achieved just 1 win and that was a 2-1 win over Wigan Athletic, who are currently below Hull City in the table.
Hull City have conceded 1 or more goals in their last 12 home Championship games in succession.
Sunderland make the trip to the A2B Stadium on the back of a 2-1 loss at home against West Bromwich Albion. Sunderland opened the scoring after only 19 minutes but WBA came back in the second half, equalising in the 70th minute and scoring the winner 8 minutes from time.
That was the second defeat for Sunderland in their last 6 Championship fixtures. They won each 3 of the other 4 matches, beating Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City away plus Millwall at home.
Away form in the Championship shows Sunderland are undefeated in their last 3 away games. In addition to the wins over Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City, there was a 1-1 draw at Luton Town.
Trends show in Sunderland's last 3 matches in the Championship, there have been over 2.5 goals scored. The Black Cats have been difficult to beat when playing Hull City and are undefeated in their last 9 meetings in all competitions.
Team news and Hull City will be without the injured quartet of Harvey Vale, Vaughn Covil, Benjamin Tetteh, and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh.
Sunderland have no major injury concerns or suspensions so will be at full strength for this match.
Hull City have been struggling at home while Sunderland are on a 3 game undefeated streak away. We expect to see over 2.5 goals in this match but for all the goals to come in favour of the away team. Therefore, a 3-0 win for Sunderland is our prediction for this Championship fixture.
