Hull City vs Ipswich Town Predictions
These sides are level on points, but the underlying numbers favour Ipswich Town, who lead on big chances, shots on target and expected goals. That supports the main result, while 1-1 is the more precise version of the same read.
Team News
Hull City: Nobel Mendy returns to the squad. Jack Butland faces a late fitness call and Charlie Hughes remains day to day, while no fresh injury concern has been reported for Oli McBurnie or Lewie Coyle.

Head-to-Head
Hull City and Ipswich Town do not have a meaningful recent Premier League head-to-head record. The archived meetings are either too old or from another division, so they cannot explain the likely pattern of this match. Current league form, the level of chance creation and the confirmed availability picture are more relevant than historical results played by different squads.
Where the Game Will Be Decided
Hull City have created 9 big chances and 26 shots on target, with 8.34 xG. Ipswich Town have created 13 big chances and 34 shots on target, with 9.18 xG.
Hull City most recently drew with Brentford 1-1 at home in the Premier League; lost to Fulham 0-1 away in the Premier League. Ipswich Town most recently drew with Nottingham Forest 1-1 at home in the Premier League; lost to Manchester City 2-3 away in the Premier League. Competition labels matter here: a cup or European result is not presented as league form.
The crucial issue is whether the selected side’s advantages can outweigh the figures that point the other way. That keeps the conclusion tied to the actual balance of evidence, rather than simply listing every stat as though it supports the same team. Hull City need to make their better spells count; Ipswich Town will be dangerous if the game turns toward the areas where their figures are stronger. Both sides need to be decisive when the clearest opening arrives, rather than simply accumulating possession without a decisive final action.
Hull City vs Ipswich Town Odds
| Market | Selection | William Hill | Implied chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Match result | The Draw | 9/4 | 30.8% |
| Both Teams To Score | Yes | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Total goals | Over 2.5 | 5/6 | 54.5% |
| Result & BTTS | Draw & Yes | 16/5 | 23.8% |
The William Hill prices imply 30.8% for the main result, 60.0% for both teams to score and 54.5% for over 2.5 goals. That is a market view of the likely shape of the game, not proof that every part of the statistical case points the same way.
Betting Tips
The Draw is the selection, on a table gap of nothing at all. The underlying numbers do not split evenly, though: Ipswich Town lead on big chances, shots on target and expected goals. Hull City’s home advantage is what balances the call.
Both Teams To Score is the supporting goals angle because the selected scoreline needs both attacks to contribute. It complements the result call rather than replacing it; our football tips this weekend cover the wider card.
Where the Value Is
The market gives the draw an implied probability of 30.8%. The price is therefore asking the selection to win more often than not, while the counter-case remains part of the assessment.
Draw & Yes is the higher-priced combination, while Over 2.5 Goals is the simpler alternative. The goals bets suit a match in which both sides have a credible route to the net.
Prediction
The Draw is preferred, but only on the elements that genuinely favour it. The opposing evidence is acknowledged rather than repurposed as a reason for the pick.
Predicted score: 1-1.
