Hull vs Aston Villa prediction

These two sides have had very contrasting starts to the season. But for two very different reasons they were among the busiest clubs on transfer deadline day.

Hull pulled off the upset of the season so far on opening weekend, beating Man United 2-0, before seeing off newly-promoted Coventry on game week two.

The Tigers are the strutting their stuff and won’t fear the visit of Villa, even if there’s an influx of new players in Emery’s 11.

Villa’s Europa League winning squad has been gutted. But the rebuild has seen Champions League winners Leon Goretzka and Ibrahim Mbaye come in, as well as defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, forward Nicolas Jackson and Switzerland’s World Cup breakout star Johan Manzambi.

Emery’s side are still pointless from two league matches but showed they can still mix it with the best teams in the league in the 1-0 loss to Arsenal.

Could they come good against the Championship playoff winners?

Hull vs Aston Villa tips

Kamara getting stuck in

Boubacar Kamara has committed five fouls across his two Premier League appearances and is at 9/4 with BOYLE Sports to be booked.

He’s a real lynchpin in the Villa midfield but could find himself getting the run around from Hull’s new boys.

Action Jackson

Nicolas Jackson is back in the Premier League and show how dangerous he can be on the counter-attack against Arsenal.

During his loan spell at Bayern Munich he scored eight goals in the Bundesliga last season, averaging 1.7 shots per game in total with an accuracy rate of over 50%.

McBurnie on the charge

Oliver McBurnie had two fouls against Coventry and one against Manchester United.

The Scottish striker made 75 fouls in 40 Championship appearances last season.

He’ll be amongst the goals and won’t be scared of making life difficult for the Villa defence.
