The two sides last met in the league in Jan 26, when Hull City lost 0-1 at home to Stoke City. But this time it's a cup match with Stoke City at home, and recent form couldn't be more different: the hosts just lost 3-1 to Southampton in the Championship on Aug 22, while Hull City just thrashed Manchester United 2-0 in the Premier League on Aug 22. So this isn't a measure of league form, but rather whether Hull City can maintain the standard from their win over a giant, while Stoke City need to regain confidence at home. The price opened with no handicap, and the total goals line is steady at 2.25, indicating the market sees this as a close game with goals unlikely to flow.
