Hull vs Aston Villa is a Premier League Gameweek 3 clash at the MKM Stadium on Saturday, with the visitors fancied despite Hull’s bright start.
Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Premier League clash below.
Premium Tips
Andy leans towards Aston Villa, whose quality should tell against the newcomers.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Aston Villa to win and both teams to score | 11/4 | The case for Villa is quality and correction: they are the established Premier League side with far greater attacking pedigree, and a start of zero goals in their opening two games sits well below their level and points to a bounce-back. The both-teams angle leans on Villa’s own leaky opening, five conceded in two, which should give Hull, who have scored in both their games, a route to the net. |
| Nicolas Jackson over 0.5 shots on target and John McGinn over 1.5 shots | 7/4 | Jackson is a high-volume striker: in his last full season he racked up 76 shots with 35 on target across 31 games, comfortably more than one on-target effort per match, so clearing 0.5 is well within range whenever he plays. McGinn is a reliable source of attempts for Villa, with 31 shots and 12 on target in the sample plus regular set-piece and long-range efforts, giving the over-1.5-shots line a solid platform. |

How Hull City go into the game
Hull won 1-0 at Coventry last time out, a fine start to life back in the top flight. The MKM Stadium will be bouncing for the visit of Villa.
Newly promoted, Hull are spirited and organised, but Villa are a step up in class. Home advantage is their main hope.
How Aston Villa go into the game
Aston Villa were beaten 1-0 at home by Arsenal last time out, a narrow defeat to a title contender. A response is expected on the road.
Villa have the quality to challenge near the top and should fancy this trip. Turning up the ruthlessness is the aim.

Hull vs Aston Villa stats to look out for
Aston Villa have not scored a Premier League goal this season and have managed just 0.65 xG across their opening two games. Both figures are the worst in the division.

| Expected goals (xG) | 1.65 | 0.65 |
| Shots | 14 | 13 |
| Chances created | 9 | 10 |
| Touches in the opposition box | 24 | 22 |
| Big chances missed | 1 | 0 |
Villa have had 13 shots but only 22 touches in the opposition box, so the ball is not reaching dangerous areas at all.
Hull have been the more clinical side, with three goals from 1.65 xG, though 14 shots and nine chances created is a thin platform of their own.
