This is a game where recently promoted Hull City looks to record a first win in the Premier League at the expense of Fulham. Hull managed to win the play offs and earn the chance to compete with the best in England. They bought seven new players and hope that will be enough to survive the first season in Premiership. Fulham hopes to avoid another relegation battle, and to help them, a lot of new players joined the team. Some of the names from the list are Andy Johnson, Bobby Zamora and Zoltan Gera.

Tigers are ready for the challenge

Nobody gave them chances of reaching a top half finish, let alone reaching promotion, but the Championship is famous for its surprises and Hull was just that last season. The team managed to reach the play offs, and beat Bristol City to achieve promotion. The club was aware they need to strengthen the squad, and acted accordingly. Players like Geovanni, Bernard Mendy and George Boateng joined the club, and these are certainly players with great quality, who can help Hull stay in the top division. The stadium in Hull is sold out, and the fans will hope to witness the first win for Hull in the Premiership. Manager Phil Brown will have full squad to choose from.

Fulham wants to avoid relegation fight

Fulham has been struggling to avoid relegation fight over the last years, and to avoid the same situation, the club reinforced the squad with several notable players. Mark Schwarzer will be number one keeper, as he arrived from Middlesbrough, while Fredrik Stoor and John Pantsill will add options in defense. Teymourian and Gera will strengthen the midfield area, while two biggest signings Andy Johnson and Bobby Zamora are here to score goals. And with players like Bullard, Simon Davis and Danny Murphy already in the team, they should be able to achieve mid table finish. Keeper Anti Niemi and Diomansy Kamara are both injured.

Betting verdict

Tigers have just been promoted from the Championship, and they will have a lot of motives to win the game for their fans. New players had enough time to adjust, and they should make the team better. Fulham is stronger than last year, and they could avoid relegation battle this year. They will want to win this game, to prove they are serious team this year, while the hosts will have to attack in front of the expecting fans. The teams will not pay much attention to defense, and we recommend betting on over 2.5 goals.

Our tip: Bet 7 on Over 2.5 goals
