Stoke vs Hull Tips
Tip 1
New Spanish head coach Narcis Pelach has jumped at the chance to spearhead the reimagining in Staffordshire and has plenty of staffing experience to draw from, including a three-year stint at Huddersfield Town, where he reached a play-off final as part of Carlos Corberan’s set-up.
Historically, Stoke have the upper-hand in this fixture, especially recently, where they’ve come out victorious in four of their last six encounters with Hull.
Although the Potters have been way behind schedule as a club since their relegation from the top flight back in 2018, there is the chance for new ideas in an extended format for Pelach and his team; something the team could immediately benefit from on Friday.
Hull arrive without a win yet this season and after losing two on the spin with as much as a whimper, don’t look in any fit shape to produce one here.
Tip 2
The Tigers haven’t scored in any of their last three matches, and are displaying some alarming performances at both ends of the pitch.
Stoke have kept clean sheets in five of their last six games against Friday’s guests, shipping three in last September’s defeat.
Wins over Coventry, Carlisle, Middlesbrough and Plymouth have all been achieved while maintaining a clean sheet and all signs point to this same defensive stability to be on display in front of the Sky cameras this Friday.
