🏴 Newcastle vs Hull City 🏴 — Prediction
Premier League · Matchday 5 · Sat, 19 Sept 2026, 16:00 CEST · St James' Park, Newcastle upon Tyne
Why we called it
Matthias Jaissle's Newcastle have five points (2-0 at Spurs, 2-2 v Bournemouth, then a 1-4 collapse at Leeds) after losing Tonali, Guimarães and Gordon in the summer; Harvey Barnes is their top scorer with three, Yoane Wissa leads the line, and Elanga, Joelinton, Burn, Osula and Nico González are out. Sergej Jakirović's promoted Hull are unbeaten on 8 points (1-0 at Coventry, 0-0 v Villa, 2-2 at Chelsea) built on a compact back three in front of Tzolakis, with Oli McBurnie the target man, though they miss Butland, McNair and Morita. Newcastle are clear but shaky favourites at home, so a one-goal win. Goal because Newcastle have conceded in three of their last four while Hull have scored at Chelsea and Coventry.
