Breaking: Stoke v Hull: Oppose goals on Friday night

Stoke and Hull to play out a goalless draw

Stoke City and Hull City are both in need of points as they prepare to face off at the bet365 Stadium on Friday night. However, neither side has been in good form of late and a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome.

Stoke's struggles continue

Stoke have not won in their last five matches and have only scored three goals in that time. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last seven matches.

Hull's away form a concern

Hull have also been struggling for form, winning just one of their last seven matches. They have also lost their last three away matches without scoring a goal.

Head-to-head record

The two sides have met on 34 occasions, with Stoke winning 13 times, Hull winning 10 times, and the remaining 11 matches ending in a draw.

Team news

Stoke are without a number of key players, including Nick Powell, Josh Tymon, and Harry Souttar. Hull are also without a number of players, including George Honeyman, Ryan Longman, and Jacob Greaves.

Prediction

This is a difficult match to call, but a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome. Both sides are in poor form and have a number of key players out injured.
