A Grind at the MKM Stadium
Sunday’s matchup brings together two sides that have made excellent starts and would be happy to avoid defeat. Hull City have gone under 2.5 goals in five of their seven games across all competitions, and Everton have finished under 2.5 in four of their five league games. Expect a cagey, low-tempo afternoon.
The numbers back it up. Hull are the only Premier League side yet to concede at home this season, and Everton have kept clean sheets in five of their last seven matches. Goals have been hard to find against both.

Hull Are Built for Low-Scoring Games
Yes, Hull’s last two games went over. But the Tigers are far more comfortable in tight, gritty matches, as they showed in the first games of the season. After two weaker defensive performances, expect them to return to a more defensive approach, likely in a 5-4-1.
Goals Don’t Come Easy for the Tigers
Going forward, Hull lack quality, and goals simply don’t come easy for them. That’s a problem against an Everton side tied for the best defense in the Premier League.
Everton Are the League’s Best Under Team
Four of Everton’s five league games have finished under 2.5 goals. Their two away trips ended in a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth and a goalless draw at Tottenham. Low-scoring road games are nothing new for the Toffees, either; they were the best team in the league for this bet last season too.
Premier League Matchday 6 Best Bet
Both teams have started well, and both should be more than satisfied with a point. That points to a low-paced game with neither side willing to take too many risks. Hull’s defensive reset plus Everton’s road form makes the under the play.
