Newcastle United will be aiming to respond after a heavy loss when they host Hull City in the Premier League at St. James’ Park on September 19.

Newcastle Aiming to Respond Following Big Loss

Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle will face pressure this Saturday when the Magpies aim to respond after an early setback under their new head coach. The team conceded four in their recent loss to Leeds, meaning they have now allowed six goals in their last two league outings.

Their reliable offensive record has continued, however, and they have scored at least once in all six competitive fixtures in 2026-27. Harvey Barnes has caught the eye this season, scoring three in his last five.

Yoane Wissa has also improved under Jaissle, registering as many goal involvements in four starts this term as he did in 19 last season (2). Dan Burn, Nico Gonzalez, Joelinton, and William Osula are all doubts this weekend.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Hull City (4-2-3-1): Hornicek; Livramento, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Miley, Steur; Toure, Fernandez-Pardo, Barnes; Wissa

Tigers Making a Habit of Upsetting the Odds on EPL Return

Despite being heavy favourites for relegation at the start of the season, Hull City are a quarter of the way toward the magical 40-point mark, which typically ensures survival.

The Tigers have been outsiders in the betting for all four fixtures so far, but they have avoided defeat in all clashes and have recorded credible draws against Aston Villa and Chelsea, and a win against Man United. Their attacking quality shone against the latter last week. Hull scored twice in a thrilling encounter at Stamford Bridge, meaning that they have netted five goals in four this term.

Oli McBurnie provides a focal point at the top of the field, registering an assist, and Mohamed Belloumi has scored twice this season. The visitors will be without Charlie Hughes and Paddy McNair this weekend.

Hull City predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (5-4-1): Tzolakis; Coyle, Ajayi, Egan, Mendy, Giles; Belloumi, Crooks, Slater, Stroud; McBurnie

A low-scoring encounter should be expected this Saturday, as Newcastle bid to bounce back defensively after their recent heavy loss.

The Magpies have conceded no more than once in half of their previous four, and in the same number of games they have scored no more than two goals. Hull’s defensive record has been their big strength on their EPL return, keeping clean sheets in three of their four fixtures.

Meanwhile, there hasn’t been more than four goals in any of their six competitive outings this term. Under 4 goals has also been a winning selection in the four most recent head-to-heads.

Hull City have outperformed their odds this season, going unbeaten in all four fixtures against traditional European contenders like Man United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.

Their excellent defensive record will once again give them a platform to upset the odds this weekend, especially against rivals who have failed to win in three of their four league outings.

Hull have also avoided defeat on their previous four trips to St. James’ Park, winning on three occasions and playing out one draw.

Verdict: Under 4 Goals (1.24) — Newcastle United 1-1 Hull City
