💭 Prediction

Our thinking is that Hull City may find it difficult to see themselves scoring against this Southampton outfit who we think might manage to score & go ahead.

We’re therefore expecting a good tussle with a 0-1 victory for Southampton at the conclusion of the game.

There should be little in it.
