Current form
Hull finished only in sixth place in the Championship last season. Nevertheless, they managed to knock out Millwall and Middlesbrough in the playoffs and win a ticket to the Premier League. Nine years later, the team returned to the Premier League. During the pre-season, the Tigers held five sparring matches, in which they suffered only one defeat against Eintracht (0:2). In the last control meeting, a 0-0 draw with Nice was recorded.
In the summer, the club's management spent almost 90 million euros to strengthen the squad. 11 new players have been signed, but three of them will not be able to play today due to injuries. It should be noted that during the transfers, they relied on strengthening the defensive line, as last season they conceded 66 goals in 46 matches in the Championship. Goalkeeper Konstantinos Tsolakis from Olympiacos joined the team, as well as central defenders Nobel Mendy and Lucas Herrington.
Disqualifications and injuries
Butland, Gelhardt, Gyabi, Hughes, Mataso and Morita are injured. Drama, Jacob and Zambrano are in question.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Tsolakis – Mendy, Egan, Ajayi–Coyle, Slater, Hjerte-Dahl, Crooks, Giles–Belloumi, McBurney.
Current form
Manchester United played out last season only after Michael Carrick took over as head coach. Under his leadership, the Red Devils improved significantly and eventually finished in third place and received a ticket to the Champions League. In the friendly summer matches, the Mancunians played with varying success, won three, lost twice and drew one match.
Manchester United retained almost the entire squad. We only note the departure of Casemiro, who has ended his contract. Of the acquisitions, we note the signings of Andrei Santos from Chelsea and Yuri Thielemans from Aston Villa. These players must strengthen the support area. Marcus Rashford has returned, but he is not ready to play in the starting line-up yet.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ugarte, de Ligt, Heaton and Sheshko are injured, Darlow, Mount, Mainu are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate line–up: Lammens – Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro, Shaw - Santos, Thielemans – Diallo, B. Fernandes, Dorgu – Mbeumo.
Hull unexpectedly made it to the Premier League last season. The Tigers took only sixth place in the Championship, and did not demonstrate a reliable defensive game. Undoubtedly, Hull has strengthened the squad decently in the summer, but there is clearly still a lack of teamwork.
Manchester United retained all the key players, strengthened the defensive zone, and played the pre-season matches with confidence. In class and due to teamwork, the red Devils are now able to confidently beat the newcomer of the Premier League.
Our prediction is that Manchester United will win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) by a factor of 2.05
Bet on the total
The defense is a weak point in Hull's game, as evidenced by the 66 goals conceded last season in the Championship. Undoubtedly, the team is betting on newcomers, but the squad is still undefeated. We expect Manchester United to take advantage of their opponent's defensive problems and score at least two goals.
The second bet is that Manchester United's individual goal total is over 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
According to the scenario of the game, we expect Manchester United to have a significant territorial advantage and spend a lot of time at other people's gates. Accordingly, the red devils are able to win more than confidently on the corners. Moreover, in the previous four matches they won by this indicator.
Prediction – Manchester United win on corners with a handicap (-2.5) with a coefficient of 1.90
