Hull City vs Ipswich Prediction

Hull City host Ipswich on 31 October 2026 at 18:00 in the Premier League's ninth round. The fixture at the MKM Stadium pits two sides moving in opposite directions: Hull unbeaten in six of eight league matches, Ipswich without a win in five of eight. Hull's home record stands at one victory and three draws across their Premier League campaign, while Ipswich have collected only 3 points from 12 in away matches this season.

Hull's resilience at home is the defining feature here. Newcastle won 2-1 and Fulham 1-0 on their own pitches, but no visiting side has taken three points from the MKM Stadium this season. Last weekend Hull drew 1-1 with Brentford, with Oliver McBurnie scoring from the penalty spot. Ipswich drew 1-1 at Nottingham Forest on Friday and arrive with a near-full squad, only midfielder Sasha Lukic uncertain after missing two rounds.

Hull's attacking output remains modest—averaging 1.00 goals per game over their last ten matches—but they concede at the same rate. Ipswich's away form is fragile: they average 1.70 goals scored but 2.10 conceded on the road. Neither team projects as clearly superior. Hull's defensive vulnerabilities are offset by their home stability; Ipswich's attacking threat is undermined by their inability to win away.

Form and H2H

Hull's last ten league matches show two wins, five draws, and three losses. At home this season they have not lost. Ipswich have won four of their last five meetings across all competitions against Hull, with one draw, but that record carries little weight in the context of this season's Premier League form.

Ipswich's recent history masks a struggling campaign. They have failed to win in five of eight league matches and concede more than they score on the road. Hull, by contrast, have engineered a run of unbeaten results through defensive discipline rather than attacking dominance. In eight of their last ten official matches across all competitions, Hull have not lost.

Best bet

Hull to win or draw (1X) is the logical play. Hull's home record—unbeaten in six of eight league matches—combined with Ipswich's inability to win away creates a clear edge for the home side to avoid defeat. The bookmakers price both a Hull win and an Ipswich win identically, yet Hull's home advantage and Ipswich's away struggles suggest the draw or home win is more likely than an away victory. This is not a match where Hull will be overrun; it is one where they can grind out a result through their proven home resilience.
