Hull City v Portsmouth Match Preview

Hull City v Portsmouth Bet Builder, Tips and Predictions – Championship | 08 Nov, 12:30

Venue: MKM Stadium
Competition: Championship
Kick-Off: Saturday 8th November 2025, 12:30 (UK)


🔍 Match Preview

Hull City return to home soil this weekend looking to bounce back after their 2-1 defeat at Derby County, which ended their six-match unbeaten run in the Championship. Despite that setback, The Tigers remain one of the most consistent sides in the division and are pushing hard for a play-off spot under manager Sergej Jakirović.

Before the loss at Pride Park, Hull had notched up four wins in six, including victories over Sheffield United (1-0), Birmingham City (3-2), Leicester City (2-1), and Norwich City (2-0) — showcasing their ability to beat both struggling and elite Championship opposition.

At the MKM Stadium, Hull have been particularly strong — losing just once at home all season, with four wins and two draws, and scoring in all but one of those games.

Portsmouth, on the other hand, are enduring a tough spell. After three straight league defeats, John Mousinho’s men managed to steady the ship slightly with a 0-0 draw against Wrexham in midweek, but it was hardly the confidence boost they needed.

Pompey have now managed just one win in their last 10 league outings, and their struggles in front of goal — just three goals in five away matches — continue to hinder their progress. Facing a Hull side that’s dominant at home, the visitors will need a major improvement to get anything from this encounter.

Team News and Predicted Line-Ups

Hull City:

  • Out: Oli McBurnie, Mohamed Belloumi, Eliot Matazo, Liam Millar, Kasey Palmer, John Lundstram.

  • Amir Hadziahmetovic could return to the XI after being benched against Derby.

  • Joe Gelhardt is in great form, scoring 4 goals in his last 5 matches.

Predicted XI:
Pandur; Ajayi, Egan, Hughes; Drameh, Hadziahmetovic, Slater, Giles; Crooks; Gelhardt, Ndala


Portsmouth:

  • Out: Harvey Blair, Callum Lang, Adrian Segecic, Franco Umeh, Thomas Waddingham (all attacking injuries).

  • Also missing: Nicolas Schmid, Jacob Farrell, Conor Shaughnessy, Connor Ogilvie.

  • Mousinho could reshuffle his defence with Poole and Knight anchoring the backline.

Predicted XI:
Bursik; Poole, Knight, Bowat; Devlin, Le Roux, Dozzell, Williams; Chaplin, Murphy; Bishop

Hull City v Portsmouth Prediction

Hull have been one of the Championship’s most balanced sides this season — solid defensively and effective going forward. With Joe Gelhardt in strong form and the home side showing real attacking intent, they should have too much for a struggling Portsmouth team.

Pompey’s injury list and lack of cutting edge on the road make this a difficult assignment. Expect Hull to dominate territory and possession with goals likely to feature.

Prediction: Hull City Win & Over 2.5 Goals

Conclusion

Hull’s attacking quality, consistency, and home advantage make them heavy favourites to bounce back in style. Portsmouth will battle hard but lack the firepower to match The Tigers’ attacking depth. Expect another lively contest with goals — and Hull to claim all three points.
