The encounter between Hull City and Everton, the outsider and the middle-class team, will open the program of the 19th round of the EPL 2016-17 season. The future hosts have their back to the wall with their tournament standing, the Tigers must gain points, otherwise Hull City are risking to fall behind the saving 17th place, and as a result, lose their place in the elite.
In the last five matches within EPL, Hull City lost four times with one draw, and the only tie happened in a home match against Crystal Palace, with the Tigers losing to Middlesbrough, Tottenham, West Ham and Manchester City. Hull City have 20 points in the asset and the 20th place in the EPL tournament table, prior to the forthcoming match.
Everton in its turn are trying to return to the fight for the Eurocup place, but it will be hard to do. The Toffees are currently on the seventh position of the peloton, seven points behind Manchester United. Actually, the seventh place can also mean Eurocups, but for that to happen, the League Cup and the English Cup must be won by the teams from the top six. Everton have had nine away matches in the EPL this season, in which they’ve had three victories with one draw and five losses.
Hull City do not look like a doomed team, the Tigers are struggling, and the handicap between them and the 17th position in the EPL tournament table is only four points, so everything can still be fixed, but to do so, the points must be gained regularly, at least in the matches, held at KC.
Prediction for the match: Hull City to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
