Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner for this clash, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Southampton and Hull will score at least a couple of goals between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither William Still or Sergej Jakirović has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.20 equating to about a 79% probability.
