Newcastle vs Hull City Prediction

Newcastle United host Hull City on 19 September 2026 at 17:00 in a Premier League clash where the hosts are heavy favourites to break a run of poor form. Newcastle have won only once in their last ten league matches and suffered a 4-1 defeat to Leeds United last time out. Hull arrive unbeaten this season after drawing 2-2 with Chelsea, but their attacking output remains modest. The Magpies should have enough quality to win, though their defensive vulnerabilities mean a clean sheet is unlikely.

Form and H2H

Newcastle have taken 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses across their last ten matches, averaging 1.60 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. Only 20% of those outings ended in a clean sheet. Hull City have been more disciplined defensively, conceding just 0.80 goals per game over the same stretch, though they have managed only 0.90 in attack. Away from home, Hull's matches have been higher-scoring affairs, averaging 2.14 goals per game with both teams scoring in 57% of their road fixtures.

Newcastle will be without Nico Gonzalez (doubtful), Elanga, Joelinton, Burn, and Osula through injury. Hull have doubts over defender Nobel Mendy after his knock at Stamford Bridge. Yoane Wissa will lead Newcastle's attack despite a poor showing against Leeds.

Best bet

Newcastle 2-1 Hull City. The hosts have superior quality and should edge a tight contest despite their recent struggles. Both teams are likely to score given Newcastle's defensive record and Hull's attacking threat on the road.

Odds to watch

Newcastle are clear favourites to win. Both Teams to Score carries genuine appeal given Newcastle's defensive frailties and Hull's proven ability to score away from home. Over 2.5 goals is a sensible play in a match where Newcastle need to attack and Hull will look to exploit spaces on the counter.
