Sunderland vs Hull City Predictions

Sunderland, managed by Régis Le Bris, sit 6th in the Championship with 54 points from 33 matches as of February 22, 2025. Their last outing was a 2-2 draw with Leeds United on February 18, with Chris Rigg and an own goal by Junior Firpo salvaging a point, extending their unbeaten run to five (2W, 3D). At home, they boast the league’s only unbeaten record (10W, 6D, 0L), scoring 31 goals and conceding 15—one shy of their 2023/24 total after 23 home games. Injuries to Niall Huggins (knee), Tom Watson (hamstring), Jayden Danns (groin), and Aji Alese (ankle) persist, but Romaine Mundle and Alan Browne are back. New signing Milan Aleksić from Radnički Niš joins Wilson Isidor (14 goals) and Jobe Bellingham (4 goals). Social media sentiment reflects cautious optimism after their Leeds resilience, with focus on their home fortress.

Hull City, under Tim Walter, languish in 20th with 33 points from 33 matches. Their last game was a 2-1 home loss to Bristol City on February 15, with Matt Crooks scoring, marking their third defeat in four (1W, 3L). Away form offers hope (7W, 2D, 7L), with 19 goals scored and 26 conceded—winning three of their last five on the road (Sheffield United, Blackburn, Millwall). Injuries to Harvey Cartwright (shoulder), Doğukan Sinik (knee), Charlie Hughes (Achilles), Mohamed Belloumi (hamstring), Kasey Palmer (calf), and Liam Millar (knee) hurt their depth, while Jaden Philogene is doubtful (knock). New signing Gelson Fernandes from Reading joins Joe Gelhardt (on loan from Leeds, 4 goals) and João Pedro (3 goals). Social media buzz notes their away grit but flags defensive frailty (1.39 goals conceded per game).

Sunderland lead the recent head-to-head record (4W, 2D, 1L in the last 7), including a 1-0 win at Hull on December 26, 2024, via Isidor’s goal. Hull’s last win at the Stadium of Light was in 2017 (1-0). Sunderland’s unbeaten home streak (16 games) meets Hull’s road tenacity, but the Black Cats’ attack (1.7 goals per game) should exploit Hull’s shaky defense (47 goals conceded, fifth-worst).
