Our prediction for the Stoke City vs Hull City match
The "Potters" are remembered as a solid mid-table Premier League team with an intriguing lineup and cup successes. However, since their unexpected relegation to the Championship, they've been hovering in the division without any particular ambitions, finishing 17th last season. The "Tigers," on the other hand, have had a roller-coaster journey, with attempts to establish themselves in the Premier League, subsequent relegations to the third tier, and then a quick return from League One. Last spring, they finished just one win short of the promotion playoff zone, taking 7th place.
Stoke City has brought in many new players, including loanees such as Kumas, Moran, Phillips, Cannon, as well as Gibson, Boka, and Johansson, for whom they even paid a million. Hull City lost Estupiñán and Seri, with Villa buying back Philogene. They did, however, bring in several new signings, including Millar, Hughes, and Bellamy, but their spending only slightly exceeded £5 million. Most importantly, they have a new head coach, Tim Walter.
Stoke, under Schumacher, started the season with wins in the Championship and League Cup but then suffered back-to-back defeats to Watford and West Bromwich. The slump didn’t last long, as they ended August with wins over Middlesbrough and Plymouth. However, they then lost to Oxford and narrowly defeated Fleetwood in the League Cup, advancing only via penalties after a 1-1 draw. Walter’s start in England has been weak, losing in the League Cup to Sheffield Wednesday in their first match. In the Championship, Hull followed a string of draws with a loss to Leeds. A 0-2 defeat to Sheffield United in the last round was no surprise after such a run.
