Eliezer Mayenda Dossou has been a standout performer for Sunderland this season, consistently contributing to their offensive play.

He averages 1.3 shots on target per game and 2.54 shots per 90. In his six appearances, he has already netted two goals, underscoring his importance to the team’s attack. Hull City’s defence, which has allowed an average of 15.4 shots per game, presents a favourable matchup for Mayenda.

Given these statistics, backing him to have at least one shot on target looks strong, he seems likely to exploit the defensive vulnerabilities of Hull here.

Mundle has averaged 2.5 fouls per 90 minutes so far this season, he will also be directly coming up against Marvin Mehlem, who has drawn an average of 2.2 fouls per game this season. The Sunderland man could sin on more than one occasion here.

Sky Bet currently has this pick at 1.4, furthering the value on show here.

Lewie Coyle has played every minute for Hull in the Championship this season and has averaged 1.4 fouls per game in this time.

He is also likely to come up against Mundle who draws 3.24 fouls per 90 – he will more than likely sin on one occasion this Sunday to help our level 1 bet builder.

Sunderland have only been involved in one game this year where this hasn’t happened and it has also happened in all of Hull’s last five games.

It is also a bet that very much suits this fixture as Sunderland have favored scoring in the first half this season averaging 1.11 goals per first 45, while Hull have tended to score in the second half with eight of their twelve goals this year having come after the break.

Jobe Bellingham has averaged 1.1 fouls per game this year in the league. He will also likely play every minute this Sunday maximizing time for him to commit an offense.

He has received 3 yellow cards this year and can be prone to losing his head on occasion.

The visitors have scored in the first half in all but one game this year, and have led at the break in all but two outings.

This, coupled with the fact Hull have struggled defensively in the first half, conceding an average of 0.67 goals, indicates solid value.

This is furthered by the fact Sunderland’s defence has looked robust in the first half, having conceded just 0.22 goals per 45. Hull has also favoured scoring later this year with two thirds of their goals coming after half-time.

Given the recent form of both teams, it’s fair to say we can expect goals. Hull City has recently been involved in a number of high-scoring games, with over 4 goals scored in all of their last four matches.

This trend showcases Hull’s tendency for open, attacking play and in turn defensive vulnerabilities.

On the other hand, Sunderland have been ruthless in front of goal, netting 18 times this season. The combination of Hull’s high-scoring matches, defensive openness and Sunderland’s strong offensive record suggests that this game is likely to see multiple goals.

Ivan Pandur has averaged 3.8 saves per game this year in the league and is sure to be tested again here.

He is coming up against a Sunderland side who are the highest scorers in the Championship and who are likely to have many attempts on his goal on Sunday.
