Bet £20 get £40 in free bets with Unibet ahead of Hull vs Aston Villa

Sep 5, 2026 - 15:45

Hull host Aston Villa at the MKM Stadium on Saturday evening with the table upside down. Hull have won both games without conceding, while Villa have lost both without scoring or registering a shot on target.

Ahead of Saturday’s early evening kick-off in East Yorkshire, Unibet are offering new customers the chance to net £40 in free bets. Sign up via our link, deposit £20, and place a single £20 bet on any sports market at odds of evens or better.

Hull have won twice without conceding a goal. Semi Ajayi and club-record signing Nobel Mendy beat Manchester United on the opening weekend, and Liam Millar’s 82nd-minute counter settled it at Coventry. Sergej Jakirovic has publicly set his squad a target of 38 to 41 points.

Villa have lost both games without scoring, the first time they have started a season that way since 2002. Emiliano Martínez, Ollie Watkins and Ezri Konsa have all left the side that won the Europa League. Unai Emery handed debuts to Zion Suzuki and Nicolas Jackson against Arsenal, with £47m signing Ibrahim Mbaye watching from the directors’ box.

Land even more value with Unibet

Follow our link to Unibet and follow these simple steps to claim your free bets:

Register as a new customer using our link
Deposit £20 or more via debit card or instant bank transfer
Place a single £20 bet (or bets totalling £20) on any sports market at odds of evens (2.0) or higher

You’ll receive your £40 in free bets once your qualifying bet settles – regardless of whether it wins or loses. Free bets are credited the same day if your qualifying bet settles on the day of registration, or within 48 hours otherwise, and expire 7 days after being issued.

Villa’s first visit to this ground since the 2018-19 Championship season, and a chance to get involved in the Premier League’s most surprising early table.

Hull’s two clean sheets to extend Villa’s search for a shot on target

Villa have a case, and it starts with the fixture list. They finished fourth last season and won the Europa League. Their opening two games came against Brighton and the champions. Monday was also a marked improvement on Brighton, where Villa were four down inside 31 minutes and a man short before half-time.

The fixtures explain the results. They do not explain the shots. Villa have not put one on target in 180 minutes of football. Only one other side has begun a Premier League season that way since 2003-04, Swansea in 2017-18. Emi Buendía’s crossbar against Arsenal was the closest they came, and even that did not force a save.

Hull, meanwhile, have not conceded, beating Manchester United and Coventry without ever looking like giving one up.

Hull City to win
Both teams to score – No

Twenty-four years since Villa last opened a season with two goalless defeats, and this is not the week the drought ends.
