Hull City vs Stoke City Prediction and Betting Tips 1 January 2026

Hull City are brimming with confidence following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Middlesbrough and given their excellent form in December, we predict that they will defeat Stoke City 2-0 on Matchday 25. The Tigers are unbeaten in five and sit on an impressive 1.90 points per game, boosted by a strong home record of 1.80 PPG. They score 1.40 goals per home match and have conceded just 1.60, showing good balance. Their BTTS rate at the MKM Stadium stands at 40%, while their overall win percentage is a notable 60%. Hull’s expected goals data (1.21 at home) also reflects consistent attacking value. Important defender Ryan Giles, however, is unlikely to feature after picking up a knock in the win over Middlesbrough.

The Potters, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, losing all four of their road games this season and failing to score in 75% of them. Their away expected goals of just 0.95 highlights creativity problems, while conceding 2.00 goals per away match further explains their 0.00 PPG away. Midfielder Ben Pearson is suspended after his red card in the 2-1 victory last weekend, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Considering huge form gap and Stoke’s 0.00 away PPG of late, Home Win is our main betting tip for this Championship encounter, alongside Under 3.5 goals and Hull City to Score First.

This Championship match will be played on Thursday 1 January 2026 at 15:00.
