Hull City host Ipswich Town at the MKM Stadium on Saturday with both sides looking to continue to improve on their solid starts to life back in the Premier League.
Hull remain unbeaten at home in the league, while Ipswich have lost three of their four away matches.
Mohamed Belloumi's attacking contribution gives the hosts an additional threat in a fixture that could be decided by fine margins.
Hull City v Ipswich Town Tips Summary
Best Bet - Mohamed Belloumi to have 1+ shot on target @ 8/13
Alternative Bet - Under 2.5 goals @ 1/1
Bet Builder - Hull City to win, Oliver McBurnie to be booked & Mohamed Belloumi to have 1+ shot on target @ 31/4
Hull City v Ipswich Town Prediction
Best Bet: Mohamed Belloumi to have 1+ shot on target @ 8/13
Belloumi is an appealing player-market selection after scoring three Premier League goals already this season.
The Hull winger has averaged 2.8 shots per match and just under one effort on target per 90 minutes.
Hull have struggled to turn performances into victories recently, but their unbeaten home record provides a platform for Belloumi to get involved in the attacking third.
Ipswich's away defensive record also offers encouragement. They have conceded 11 goals in four league away matches, an average of 2.75 per game.
Alternative Bet: Under 2.5 goals @ 1/1
Hull's recent results suggest a low-scoring match is possible despite Ipswich's defensive problems.
The Tigers have scored nine goals in eight league matches and conceded eight, while three of their four home league fixtures have ended without more than two goals.
Hull have also drawn their last three home league matches, suggesting they have been difficult to beat but have struggled to find the decisive goal.
These two sides were promoted together from the Championship last season, with their two meetings in the second tier yielding just three goals, and a similar level of scoring is expected on Humberside this weekend.
Hull City v Ipswich Town Bet Builder Tip
- Hull City to win
- Oliver McBurnie to be booked
- Mohamed Belloumi to have 1+ shot on target
Pays 31/4
Hull's home record makes the hosts worth considering, having won once and drawn three times in their four league matches at the MKM Stadium.
Ipswich have lost three of their four away league fixtures and conceded 11 goals in those matches.
Oliver McBurnie to be booked also offers appeal. The ever-chipper Hull striker will be in buoyant spirits after scoring his first goal of the season against Brentford last weekend.
The Scotsman has already picked up four yellow cards in eight games, leaving him just one booking away from a one-match suspension.
Belloumi completes the builder after scoring three league goals and averaging just under three shots per match. His willingness to shoot gives him a route to registering an effort on target even if Hull struggle to create clear-cut chances.
