Sunderland have been in good shape lately, winning two of their last five matches and drawing twice without losing any of their recent games. Hull City, on the other hand, are really struggling—they’ve lost four of their last five games, with just one win and a draw. When these two teams have met before, the matches were close and ended in draws (2-2 and 1-1), so goals have been common in their encounters.

Since Sunderland are playing well and Hull City are having a tough spell, this looks like a fairly open match where Sunderland should have the upper hand. Given the home team’s strong recent results and the away team’s poor form, a win for Sunderland seems likely.
