Over 2.5 goalsNo (42%)
Fulham host Hull City at Craven Cottage in a Premier League encounter between two sides heading in opposite directions. The hosts sit bottom of the table with just 2 points from six games, while Hull City occupy eighth place with 9 points. This is a chance for Fulham to arrest a poor start under coach Álvaro Arbeloa, though they face a Hull side that has shown resilience and consistency in recent weeks.
Team form
Fulham
Fulham's season has been difficult. They lost 1-2 at Ipswich last time out and have won none of their opening six matches—two draws and four defeats. Over their last five games they have scored only 4 goals while conceding 7, averaging 0.8 scored and 1.4 conceded per game. In their most recent outing against Ipswich, they managed 52% possession and 1.87 expected goals but could not find the net enough times. The 4-2-3-1 formation gives them structure, but they are struggling to convert chances into results.
Hull City
Hull City have shown resilience. They drew 2-2 at home to Everton most recently but lost 1-2 away at Newcastle earlier in their run. Over five matches they have scored 6 and conceded 6, showing a balanced defensive record. Their 5-4-1 setup under S. Jakirović prioritises solidity, and it has paid dividends—they have won two, drawn three and lost only once in their opening six games. Against Everton they managed 1.42 expected goals from 36% possession, illustrating their ability to be dangerous on the counter.
Head-to-head
The head-to-head record is mixed. Fulham won both home meetings in 2017, winning 2-1 and 4-1, but Hull City won away in 2019 by 3-0 and also won away in 2016 by 1-0. The most recent encounter saw Hull emerge victorious, suggesting they have adapted well to facing Fulham in recent years.
Key factors
Fulham's home advantage and superior possession-based approach should give them control of the game, but their inability to convert chances has been their downfall all season. Hull City's defensive discipline and counter-attacking threat, built around players like J. Gelhardt and S. Thomas, offer a genuine outlet. Fulham's back line, anchored by R. Sessegnon, will need to be alert to the visitors' pace on the break. The bookmakers price this as a fairly open contest, with both teams capable of taking points.
Prediction
Fulham are favoured at home, but only marginally. Their possession and creative players give them an edge in controlling the match, yet Hull City's recent form and defensive organisation make them difficult to break down. The expected goals balance slightly favours the hosts, but the gap is narrow. This looks like a game where Fulham's home advantage tips the balance, though a draw or even a Hull victory remains entirely plausible given how evenly matched these sides appear on current form.
Fulham are the most likely outcome, but this is a wide-open fixture. The hosts should edge it on home soil, but Hull City's resilience means all three results are in play. A low-scoring game appears probable, with both sides capable of scoring but neither guaranteed to do so.
