AI predicts Hull FC’s 2025 Super League start round by round including derby result and Magic Weekend

After what was their most challenging Super League season yet, Hull FC are preparing to enter a bright new era. The club has been taken over, with Andrew Thirkill and David Hood MBE completing their purchase of the club from Adam Pearson, while John Cartwright is in place as head coach.

A total of nine new signings have arrived, too, to give the Black and Whites’ squad something of a different look after winning just three games over the course of 2024. Jordan Rapana and John Asiata provide star quality while the likes of Aidan Sezer, Jordan Abdull and Zak Hardaker will have important roles to play, too.

The Black and Whites have been handed a tricky start to the 2025 Super League season, with the club starting with a trip to Catalans Dragons before hosting reigning champions Wigan Warriors at the MKM Stadium. Things get a little smoother after that though with clashes against Huddersfield Giants, Leigh Leopards, Wakefield Trinity and Castleford Tigers to follow.

As such, Cartwright does have an early opportunity to make his mark in East Yorkshire and he’ll be hoping to build up an early head of steam.

With that in mind, we asked AI to predict Hull FC’s first 10 games of the 2025 Super League season and it’s fair to say it fancies them to make strides forward next year. Here’s how Chat GPT sees Hull’s first 10 games going, including Rivals Round and Magic Weekend.

Here is a detailed prediction of Hull FC’s first 10 results for the 2025 Super League season, factoring in opponents, form, and venues:

Round 1: Catalans Dragons (Away) – Friday 14 February, 8pm

Catalans are notoriously difficult to beat at home in Perpignan. They tend to start seasons strong, and Hull FC often struggle on long away trips.

Prediction: Loss

Round 2: Wigan Warriors (Home) – Friday 21 February, 8pm

Hosting Wigan is a major test for Hull FC early in the season. Wigan’s consistency and title-winning quality will likely see them edge this clash despite Hull’s home advantage.

Prediction: Loss

Round 3: Huddersfield Giants (Away) – Friday 28 February, 8pm

Huddersfield were inconsistent last season, and this match presents an opportunity for Hull FC to pick up their first win. Hull’s pack strength may prevail against Huddersfield’s defensive style.

Prediction: Win

Round 4: Leigh Leopards (Home) – Thursday 6 March, 8pm

Leigh remain a formidable side, but Hull FC at home should give a strong performance. Leigh’s attacking flair will challenge Hull, but the hosts may edge it.

Prediction: Win

Round 5: Wakefield Trinity (Away) – Friday 21 March, 8pm

Wakefield, back in Super League, will be eager to prove themselves. However, Hull FC’s experience and squad depth should see them claim the win against the newly promoted side.

Prediction: Win

Round 6: Castleford Tigers (Away) – Thursday 27 March, 8pm

Castleford at home can be resilient, but their rebuild under a new coach may still be ongoing. Hull FC’s improved organization could see them grind out a win.

Prediction: Win

Round 7: Warrington Wolves (Away) – Saturday 12 April, 5:30pm

Warrington away is always a challenging fixture. With Warrington’s strong attacking threats, Hull FC may struggle defensively in this contest.

Prediction: Loss

Round 8: Hull KR (Home, Rivals Round) – Friday 18 April, 12:30pm

The Hull derby at home will be intense, but Hull KR’s recent dominance in these clashes gives them the upper hand.

Prediction: Loss

Round 9: Wigan Warriors (Home) – Sunday 27 April, 3pm

A second clash against Wigan in the opening rounds. Even at home, Hull FC may struggle to overcome the reigning champions.
Prediction: Loss

Round 10: Huddersfield Giants (Magic Weekend, Neutral) – Sunday 4 May, KO TBC

Playing Huddersfield at a neutral venue levels the playing field. Hull FC’s recent form against the Giants gives them the edge to secure a crucial win.

Prediction: Win

Summary of Predictions:

Wins: 5 (Huddersfield x2, Leigh, Wakefield, Castleford)

Losses: 5 (Catalans, Wigan x2, Warrington, Hull KR)

After 10 games, Hull FC could stand at 5 wins and 5 losses, reflecting a mixed start to the season with key victories against mid-table rivals and struggles against top-tier sides
