Hull City’s Ola Aina Relies on Impressive Home Form to Outmaneuver Sunderland

Hull City’s formidable defender, Ola Aina, is banking on the club’s remarkable home form to stage a triumphant comeback as they prepare to face Sunderland in the English Championship today. Hull City’s recent away fixtures have seen them endure setbacks, succumbing to defeats against Derby County (5-0) and Fulham (2-1). However, they have a strong record at their home ground, having won two of their last three league matches played there.

Aina, a consistent presence for Hull City since his loan move from Chelsea during the previous transfer window, is determined to extend his success on home turf when confronting the Black Cats. He expressed his optimism, saying, “It’s a big game for us after the last couple of results away from home, and we all believe it is a game that we can win.”

The defender emphasized the significance of playing at home, which he hopes will provide an extra edge to their performance. Aina underlined the importance of pride, determination, and passion as key factors in their strategy for the upcoming clash.

While acknowledging the challenges presented by Sunderland, Aina maintained his confidence, stating, “We just need to go out there with that pride, determination, and passion that we have.” He went on to affirm their commitment to overcoming recent setbacks and expressed their eagerness to return to the field.

Reflecting on their performance against Fulham, Aina noted the improvement compared to their display against Derby County. He stressed the need for further enhancements to secure the desired outcome.

Currently, Hull City occupies the 16th position in the English Championship, having accumulated seven points in the 24-team table. Aina, who has previously represented England at junior levels, earned an invitation from Gernot Rohr for the Super Eagles’ FIFA 2018 World Cup Russia qualifiers against Cameroon in early September.
