Sports Blog 28/04/2015: Match Preview – Hull vs Liverpool, Tuesday 28th April 2015



Both teams will be desperate for a win tonight, but for very different reasons, as Liverpool make the trip to Hull at 7.45pm.


A win at Crystal Palace on Saturday stalled a 3 game losing streak and lifted Hull away from the relegation zone. The Tigers are 16th on 31 points, level with Leicester below them, and one point away from Sunderland who are languishing at 18th. This leaves Hull at a Relegation Index spread of 3-6, where the bottom three receive 50, 25 and 10 points respectively; Leicester, comparatively, are at 1-3, whilst Sunderland are at 11-14, Burnley are at 29-32 and QPR are at 32-35. 


Hull City Last 6 Games April 28th

Tonight kicks off a final run of 5 fixtures that are likely to be incredibly tough for Hull; Liverpool, Arsenal, a potential 6-pointer against Burnley, Tottenham and final day match against Manchester United are all in store. However, 4 of those 5 games are at the KC Stadium, with only a trip to White Hart Lane taking them out of their home city.

Yet home or away, Hull’s biggest issue of late has been the absence of their top scorer Nikica Jelavic. Since the Croatian was injured back in January Hull have found wins hard to come by; however, Dame N’Doye stepped up against Palace and is at 13/2 to score first with 5 goals, and Steve Bruce will be looking for another performance like that tonight. N’Doye is joined by Abel Hernandez, also at 13/2 first scorer, and Mohamed Diame, at 12/1, both with 4 goals.


Liverpool, on the other hand, are still chasing a Champions League spot, however unlikely that eventuality is. The Reds are in 5th place, 7 points behind United who are in 4th. However following the Manchester side’s weekend loss to Everton, Liverpool could close that gap to 4 points, and put some distance between them and Tottenham and Southampton (at 58 and 57 points respectively) with a win tonight. This leaves them at a Premier League Index spread of 3-6, where 60 points are awarded to the champions, 40 for 2nd place, 20 for 3rd, 10 for 4th and 5 points for 5th.

Liverpool Last 6 Games April 28th

However, things aren’t going as planned for Brendan Rodgers. A disappointing semi-final exit from the FA Cup meant that silverware will remain elusive once more, whilst Liverpool only managed a limp snore-draw against West Brome at the weekend. This means that Liverpool have failed to score more than once in 7 of their last 8 matches, leaving tonight’s game with a Total Goals spread of 2.35-2.55. Liverpool’s rather underwhelming strike force is likely to be comprised of Balotelli, at 9/2 for first scorer on 5 goals, with Sterling and Lambert both at 5/1 for first scorer, with 11 and 3 goals respectively. 


Given the supposed higher quality of Liverpool’s squad, and the overall recent poor form of Hull, the away side have a narrow advantage at a Liverpool/Hull (h) Goal Supremacy sports spread betting quote of 0.4-0.6.
