On Saturday, Hull City welcome Crewe Alexandra to the KCOM stadium in search of back to back victories in league 1. Hull City find themselves at a backable price of 19/20 to maintain their 100 percent record since being relegated to the third tier of English football. The start of the 2020/2021 season could not have gone better for Hull as they secured an impressive 2-0 victory at Gillingham, followed up by dumping local rivals, Leeds United, out of the Carabao Cup on penalties.
Hull City squad contain plenty of league 1 experience to help them navigate the challenge of gaining promotion in May. Former Sunderland captain, George Honeyman, is a strong player at this level and will play a key role in Hull’s midfield this season. Scoring goals should not be an issue for Hull, with their strike force containing Tom Evans and Matty Wilks, who scored a combined league total of 35 goals in their last stint in League 1. Under-pressure manager, Grant McCann, will be expecting a home victory to prove that he is the right man to lead Hull City back to the Championship.
Crewe Alexandra started the season with a home defeat to Charlton Athletic. Crewe’s manager, David Artell, mentioned his concern about being punished by better quality teams reflecting the step up from league 2 to league 1.
Hull’s fire power will be enough to punish any mistakes which Crewe makes with their possession-based approach. Backing Hull at odds of 19/20 is a welcomed start of season bonus as they would be half the price if these two clubs met in a months’ time.
After 6 months of relentlessly backing and profiting from Hull’s nightmare year, it is time to reverse the trend and back them to get the 3 points on Saturday afternoon.
Hull to win 19/20 (Sky Bet, Bet 365) 2 point win.
