Newcastle United found themselves on the wrong end of a good beating away to Leeds on Monday night. The Magpies have a great chance to put the record straight at home against Hull City on Saturday.
The Tigers have been the surprise package in the Premier League this season. The newly-promoted side are currently unbeaten after four matches and begin Matchweek 5 sitting fourth in the table.
However, HullâÂÂs xG and xGA statistics suggest that they may struggle to maintain their recent good form, and I expect their luck to change sooner rather than later.
They have also conceded a lot of corners in their two away matches this season, a trend that looks set to continue at St Jamesâ Park.
Newcastle have frequently found the net under new head coach Matthias Jaissle and Yoane Wissa has started the season well up front.ÃÂ
But as last MondayâÂÂs 4-1 defeat at Leeds highlights, they are very open at the back. If we put all those ingredients together, it makes for a great Newcastle vs Hull bet builder that pays 27/5 with SBK.

Each of our selected sportsbooks offers bet builders as part of their welcome package, so new customers can back all three legs below with a bonus in hand.
Newcastle to win and over 2.5 goals
WHY: Newcastle will be desperate to make amends for a very poor showing away to Leeds on Monday night and the Toon Army will rightly demand a performance from their team.ÃÂ ÃÂ
The defeat to Leeds aside, it hasnâÂÂt been a bad start to the campaign after all the changes at the club in the summer.ÃÂ
NewcastleâÂÂs two draws at St Jamesâ Park were against strong opponents, and this looks like the perfect match to get their first home league win.
There have also been goals at both ends in the two matches, with over 3.5 goals scored in both.
KEY STAT: Newcastle have scored twice in both their home matches and have kept just one clean sheet this season. They are unbeaten at St Jamesâ Park and face a Hull team outperforming their xG stats.
Yoane Wissa to score at any time
WHY: Wissa had a troubled first season on Tyneside and only managed one goal and one assist in his 19 matches.ÃÂ
A combination of injuries and loss of form played a part for the poor return. It was also never clear if Wissa was bought as a main striker, or was merely just a backup to big-money signing Nick Woltemade.
Woltemade has now departed for Juventus and Wissa has started every match under new head coach Matthias Jaissle.ÃÂ
So far the show of faith in Wissa has resulted in vastly improved performances and he is starting to look more like the player Newcastle thought they were getting when he arrived from Brentford in 2025.
KEY STAT: Wissa has already scored one goal and provided one assist this season. In the match against Liverpool at St Jamesâ Park on Matchweek 1, he had four shots and looked like a different player.
Over 10.5 corners
WHY: Hull have conceded 24 corners in their four Premier League outings this season. At an average of six a match, itâÂÂs not excessive, but itâÂÂs on the higher side and the count is mounting up.
The Tigersâ style of play sees them sit back and absorb pressure, and then hit teams on the counter-attack. However, the flip side is they concede a lot of corners and set pieces.
Hull also rely on set pieces themselves. Both their goals against Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season came from dead-ball situations.
Newcastle owe their fans a big display after the Leeds debacle. They will be pressing from the off to try and whip the crowd up.
And with the likes of Harvey Barnes getting to the byline and whipping crosses in, Newcastle should get plenty of corners.
Hull should chip in with a few themselves against a vulnerable-looking Newcastle backline.ÃÂ
KEY STAT: Hull conceded a massive ten corners against Chelsea last week, with the match total at 14. They will come under similar pressure against Newcastle in front of an expectant Toon Army.

Stats and news that matter for your Newcastle vs Hull bet
Stat #1: There have been over 2.5 goals scored in three of NewcastleâÂÂs four league matches this season. The Magpies have scored two goals on three occasions and have only kept one clean sheet.ÃÂ
Stat #2: Will Osula is again expected to miss the match, meaning Yoane Wissa should lead the line as opposed to playing behind the striker, increasing his chances of getting on the scoresheet.ÃÂ
Stat #3: HullâÂÂs casualty list is growing by the week and they look set to be without Nobel Mendy, Matt Crooks, Charlie Hughes, Eliot Matazo, Jack Butland, Oscar Zambrano, Darko Gyabi and Matty Jacob for the trip to St Jamesâ Park.
