Stoke City - Hull City (Premier League)

It`s going to be an interesting battle between these two teams, which did a good job in the last round of the league. Stoke City defeated Aston Villa with 1-2 as guests and Hull win valuable three points with a home win over QPR. The teams come to the Britannia Stadium this Saturday and the odds for the game offered by the leading bookmaker bet365 are as follows: 2.05 for a home win, with a draw at 3.30 and 4.20 for the victory of the guests. The last two meetings here passed under dictation of Stoke City and for the past six direct meetings Hull won only one of them.

Stoke is a tough team and hardly allows to be dominated by a "tigers" at his Britannia Stadium. Although that Hull are in good shape, the players of Mark Hughes made typical strongly at home and even more, they have to make it up to their fans after they were humiliated in their last household from the visiting team of Manchester City. The team is far enough from the danger zone and far from ranking in the Top 6. Against Hull is expected to be aggressive from the beginning of the meeting, although that the attackers Bojan Krkic and Peter Odemwingie are gone, but only the absence of Krkic would be felt on the ground.

Hull City recorded two important wins, which at least temporarily pulled the team from the danger zone. After a long drought, the team managed to win against one of their direct rivals for survival in the elite of England and before that recorded an impressive draw with Manchester City. "Tigers" have only four points ahead of the 18th Burnley and will have to win at least a few more wins to feel calm. The coach Steve Bruce relies primarily on domestic events from which come most of the earned points. As guests Hull recorded only two wins - first at the beginning of the season and the second before 9 rounds. With injures in the camp of Hull City are Liam Rosenior, James Chester, Mohamed Diame and Robert Snodgrass.

Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol




In the first match of the semifinals in the tournament for the Cup of the King Athletic Bilbao welcomes Espanyol. Both teams will throw all the powers in their attempts to reach the finish line in the race, as this appears to be their only way to qualify for the European competitions next season. The hosts have won the Cup of the King in Spain 23 times and the guests have triumphed 4 times in the tournament. One thing is for sure - you`d better not skip that match, because it is going to be pretty interesting! You can watch it on the TV or live stream, it is all up to you.

Athletic Bilbao
The team was routed 5:2 at home over the weekend by Barcelona at a meeting of the Spanish Championship, thus cut off a series of four matches without a loss. Athletic Bilbao is very wobbly from the start of the season and is in the bottom half of the table in La Liga. In front of its fans recorded only one win in the last six games of 'San Mames`. Due to a penalty, the duel will be missed by one of the main advocates of the team Ajmerik Laporte.

Espanyol
The team lost with the final result adviced by www.soccer-stats.org of 1:2 to Valencia at the weekend at a meeting of La Liga, as this was the third consecutive loss for the team. Espanyol has a very poor performance in his previous visits, having earned only two wins - one in La Liga and one in the tournament for the Cup of the King. With punishment for this meeting are two of the major proponents of the team - Alvaro Gonzalez and Victor Alvarez. And the question remains the participation was Abraham.
See what has happened in the latest 6 direct meetings between both teams:

Athletic Bilbao vs. Espanyol - 3:1
Athletic Bilbao vs. Espanyol - 1:2
Espanyol vs. Athletic Bilbao - 3:2
Athletic Bilbao vs. Espanyol - 0:4
Espanyol vs. Athletic Bilbao - 3:3
Athletic Bilbao vs. Espanyol - 3:3

Athletic Bilbao won once this season against the team of Espanyol with a 3:1 on 'San Mames`. This happened during the month of November at the Summit of La Liga. And before this match, guests from Catalonia were in a series of seven matches without a loss against the Basques. The hosts will try to take advantage before the second leg, and therefore the most reasonable bet is for their victory. And that is exactly our soccer forecast - 1.
