Hull - Stoke
09.05 16:00
From the potential biggest surprise in Premier, Hull City became a serious contender for relegation. Four defeats in a row, just one point from last six games and a single win from last 19 games! They hold 17th position with three points more than dangerous zone. At Villa Park they displayed a very good performance, but lost 1-0 at the end. Team morale is on very low level, team mates Geovanni and Cousin even made an arguing during the half-time. It seems this is the last chance. In the rest two rounds, Hull will face Bolton on the road and host Man.Utd.. Caleb Folan is suspended, while Bullard, Ashbee and Gardner are injured.
Relaxed Potters
Stoke practically secured their Premier League status. Eight points above the line, three rounds left. Very good performances at Britannia Stadium made them without a pressure at the season finish. On the road, they have just one win (and four draws) from 17 games. Two 0-1 defeats in a row, Fulham away and in the last round West Ham United at home. Today have a chance to finish the job and theoretically avoid relegation. Tony Pulis can not count on injured defenders Amdy Faye and Danny Higginbotham, while Danny Pugh returns in the squad.
Tough fight is expected
Hull City has no other way, than to attack from the first whistle. Surely, nobody wants to leave decision for the last round and Man.Utd.. Visitors like a tough game, that’s their way to compensate lack of quality during the whole season. I expect an open game from the start. And goals.
Tip: Hull, Odds 2.1; Over 2.5 Goals, Odds 2.1;
