Hull vs Newcastle: Preview, predictions and lineups
- Newcastle United travel to Hull City in a pre-season friendly this weekend
- Magpies have played one behind-closed-doors friendly in Germany
- New signings Odysseas Vlachodimos and Lloyd Kelly could be involved
Newcastle United face Hull City in their second 2024/25 pre-season friendly this Saturday afternoon.
The Magpies are yet to play in front of a crowd this summer, with their only outing to date coming behind closed doors against SpVgg Unterhaching. Eddie Howe's side ran out 3-1 victors in Germany thanks to goals from Harvey Barnes, Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak.
Following their clash with Championship outfit Hull at the MKM Stadium, Newcastle will jet off to Asia for friendlies against Urawa Red Diamonds and Yokohama F. Marinos.
Hull have been battered in two of their three friendlies to date. Their first defeat came at the hands of Turkish giants Fenerbahce, with the Tigers falling to a 5-1 defeat. That was followed by a 4-0 trouncing against Doncaster Rovers, but they have earned a respectable 1-1 draw with Kasimpasa.

Hull vs Newcastle score prediction
Hull have been dismantled in several pre-season outings so far, albeit they fielded a youthful team against Doncaster Rovers. However, their misery may be compiled by a Newcastle squad that boasts real quality up top.
Isak and Barnes whet their appetites against Unterhaching last time out and will be eager to keep the momentum flowing in Yorkshire. With a number of first-team stars involved, the Magpies should fill their boots.
Prediction: Hull 1-4 Newcastle
