Both teams to scoreYes (59%)
Hull City host Ipswich at the MKM Stadium on matchday 9 of the Premier League season. Both sides sit on 10 points, separated only by goal difference in the lower half of the table. This is a fixture between two teams fighting for consistency, with Hull looking to build on their recent draw against Brentford and Ipswich seeking to bounce back after a stalemate with Nottingham Forest.
Team form
Hull City
Hull have picked up 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses across their opening eight games, scoring 9 and conceding 8. Their last five matches show 6 goals scored and 8 conceded. Most recently they drew 1-1 at home to Brentford, a result that extended their run without a win to three games. Coach Jakirović's side has been solid defensively at times but struggles to convert chances — they managed just 2 shots on goal in that Brentford game despite 1.92 expected goals.
Ipswich
Ipswich have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 4 so far, with a goal tally of 12 scored and 16 conceded. Over their last five outings they've been more balanced, posting 8 goals for and 8 against. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 home draw with Nottingham Forest, a frustrating result given they created little — just 0.49 expected goals and 3 shots on goal. Coach O'Neil's team has shown attacking intent at times, particularly in wins over Fulham and Crystal Palace, but defensive lapses have cost them dearly.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record heavily favours Hull. In their last five meetings, Hull have won all five, including three shutouts. The most recent clash saw Hull win 2-0 away at Ipswich in 2019. This historical advantage gives the hosts genuine confidence, though both sides have evolved considerably since those encounters.
Key factors
Hull's defensive shape under Jakirović — they've conceded just 1.00 per game on average — will be tested by an Ipswich attack that averages 1.50 goals per game. Conversely, Ipswich's leaky defence, conceding 2.00 per game, presents opportunities for Hull's forwards. The bookmakers price both teams to score at 1.63, suggesting a fairly open contest. Hull's possession struggles (43% in their last match) mean they'll need to be clinical on the break, while Ipswich must improve their shot conversion — their expected goals have been well below their actual output in recent weeks.
Prediction
Hull hold a slight favourite status here. Their home record, superior defensive stability, and commanding head-to-head history give them an edge. Ipswich's defensive vulnerabilities and recent inconsistency — they've won just once in their last five — work against them despite their attacking potential. The model suggests a fairly open game with both sides capable of scoring, but Hull's organisation and the MKM advantage tip the balance their way.
Back Hull City to win. They're marginally more likely to take the points, though this won't be straightforward — Ipswich have enough quality to trouble them. A competitive match with both teams scoring looks probable, making it an entertaining affair for neutral viewers.
