I see a stalemate coming on 31 October 2026 at 18:00. Hull City host Ipswich in the ninth round of the Premier League, and I'm backing them not to lose. The odds tell the story: both teams sit at 2.73 to win, while the draw is 3.53. No clear favourite exists here, and that's exactly the point. Hull have not lost in six of their last eight league matches. They drew 1–1 at home to Brentford last time out, a result that shows their resilience. Ipswich, by contrast, have won just one of their last five league games. I expect Hull to grind out a result that keeps them unbeaten at the MKM Stadium, where no visiting team has taken three points this season.
I'm not convinced either side will dominate. Hull average 0.99 goals for and 1.00 against over their last ten league games. Ipswich average 1.70 for and 2.10 against. The visitors allow chances, but Hull create few. I see a low-scoring draw or a narrow home win as the most likely outcomes, which is why I'm taking the double chance rather than backing Hull to win outright.
