How to watch Bournemouth vs Hull online & on TV, head to head and predictions

Prediction: 3-1
Tip: Over 2.5 goals | Dominic Solanke to score/assist for Bournemouth

Key Points:

1. Bournemouth has scored eight goals in their last three games across all competitions.
2. Hull City has won only three away games in the Championship this season.
3. Dominic Solanke has been involved in three goals for Bournemouth in the last three Championship games.

The race for direct promotion to the Premier League is expected to go down to the wire. Bournemouth remains one of the favourites to get back in the top division, but the inconsistent form in the past few weeks is a cause for concern. Scott Parker will be hoping to begin a good run of results from this weekend as they host Hull City on Saturday.

Hull City currently has a cushion of seven points over relegation positions in the points table. Since there are 20 more games left in the league season, Hull cannot afford to get complacent. They have been struggling to get positive results in the past six weeks, so there is an urgent need to arrest this slum as soon as possible to avoid getting dragged into the relegation battle.

Grant McCann’s team finally ended the winless run of six games across all competitions on Thursday. Hull City managed to clinch a comfortable 2-0 win against Blackburn on matchday 26. It has been a positive week on multiple fronts for Hull City as a £20 million takeover of the club was completed by Turkish businessman Ilicali.

Meanwhile, Bournemouth is reeling from last weekend’s shock 3-2 defeat away at Luton Town. In the past five Championship games, Bournemouth has managed two victories and three defeats. Parker needs to arrest this inconsistency in the team, or else they may risk losing the chance of getting a direct promotion to the Premier League.

While there is optimism surrounding Hull due to big developments off the pitch, their recent form doesn’t bode well going into the game against Bournemouth. We are backing Cherries to take all three points against Hull on Saturday. Bournemouth’s top scorer, Dominic Solanke is back in form after scoring two and creating one goal in his last three league appearances, so we are expecting him to have a major say against Hull City at Vitality Stadium.
