Hull City vs Everton: The Toffees Roll In on Form

Everton are the ones to watch here, folks. The Toffees have won their last two games — 1-0 at home to Ipswich and 1-0 at home to Wolves — and across their last ten matches they've picked up 5 wins, 4 draws and just 1 loss. That's 1.9 points per game, and they've scored 1.6 a game while keeping it to 0.8 conceded. Only once in those ten did they fail to find the net. That's a side with momentum and a bit of bite. Hull City, on the other hand, are in a bit of a muddle. Their last five has been 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses, and they've just lost 1-2 at Newcastle. In their last ten games they've managed 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses — 1.1 points per game — and they've scored just 0.8 a game. Four of those ten saw them go blank. The 0-0 at home to Aston Villa five weeks ago tells you where they're at: low-scoring and not finding the spark. Now, Hull City do have a respectable home record over their last 20 games at home — 8 wins, 7 draws, 5 losses, 1.55 points per game. They've kept 10 clean sheets in those 20 and scored 1.1 a game. That's not nothing. But their recent form is telling a different story, and the last five games paint a picture of a side that's struggling to score and struggling to win. The head-to-head here is entirely historical — the last meeting was back in January 2022, a 2-2 in the FA Cup. Before that, it stretches back to 2014. So we've got no recent meetings to lean on, and I'd say that makes this a pure form-and-venue question rather than a "they've always beaten each other" affair. The matchup tables over 20 games each are almost identical: both sides sit on 8W 7D 5L, 1.55 points per game, and 1 goal conceded per game. Where Everton edge it is in scoring — 1.45 per game away versus Hull City's 1.1 at home — and in clean sheets, where Hull City's 10/20 at home is a touch better than Everton's 7/20 away. But the recent form gap is the real story: Everton's 1.9 points per game over ten versus Hull City's 1.1 is a significant difference. Key Points: - Everton have won their last two and are on 5W 4D 1L in their last ten, scoring 1.6 per game - Hull City have lost their last game and sit on 2W 5D 3L in ten, scoring just 0.8 per game - The head-to-head is entirely historical (last meeting January 2022), so current form and venue records carry the weight - Hull City's home record over 20 games is solid (8W 7D 5L, 10 clean sheets) but recent form is poor - Everton's away scoring (1.45 per game) edges Hull City's home scoring (1.1 per game) The football points firmly to Everton, but the available prices could not be used for a recommendation, so this one's a No Bet.
