Hull City host Everton at the MKM Stadium on Sunday (2pm), two well-drilled sides meeting in what looks a cagey contest.
Anthony Eadson’s Hull City vs Everton predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Thierno Barry to draw a foul from Hull’s combative defence and Mohamed Belloumi to create a goal for the hosts.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Thierno Barry to win 1+ foul | 4/5 (bet365) | Thierno Barry has won a foul in four of his five Premier League starts for Everton, and his 17 shots show how often he gets into contact areas. Hull City should give him plenty of physical attention, having collected 17 yellow cards in five games, almost double Everton’s nine. Barry has also played at least 70 minutes in every match, giving him time to earn a free kick. He has won a foul in four of his five starts, so 4/5 looks generous for a striker who draws this much contact. |
| Mohamed Belloumi to provide an assist | 13/2 (Ladbrokes) | Mohamed Belloumi has had a hand in four of Hull City’s six Premier League goals this season. He scored both in the 2-2 draw at Chelsea, set up Liam Millar’s winner at Coventry City and teed up Mohamed-Ali Cho at Newcastle United last time out. That is an assist in two of his five starts, and he leads Hull with 13 shots. Everton have conceded only three goals, so Hull may need one moment of quality, and Belloumi looks the man to supply it. At 13/2, an assist from Hull’s main creator is the bigger-priced angle we like. |

How Hull City go into the game
Hull City sit eighth with eight points from five games, a run that began with a 2-0 home win over Manchester United, though they lost 2-1 at Newcastle last time out.
Sergej Jakirovic’s side are well organised, conceding only four goals, while Mohamed Belloumi has scored two and set up two more.
How Everton go into the game
Everton are seventh and unbeaten in five Premier League games, beating Ipswich Town 1-0 last time out after a 0-0 draw at Tottenham and a 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
David Moyes’s side boast one of the division’s meanest defences, conceding just three goals in five games and keeping three clean sheets.
