Fulham x Hull City Odds

Odds are subject to change.

Fulham vs. Hull City - Head-to-head record

Fulham have generally enjoyed the upper hand in recent meetings with Hull City, winning six of their last ten encounters, compared with three victories for the Tigers and one draw.

The London side have also won each of the last four meetings between the clubs without conceding a goal.

That record offers encouragement to Fulham as they look to end their winless start to the league campaign. However, their current struggles mean they cannot take anything for granted against a Hull side that has adapted well to life back in the top flight.

Head-to-head

Fulham - Searching for first win

Here is a closer look at Fulham’s current situation. We will highlight the team’s momentum, their latest displays, and how they might approach this new test against Hull City.

Recent form

Fulham sit bottom of the Premier League after taking just two points from their opening six matches, recording two draws and four defeats. Their latest setback came against Ipswich, where they conceded a late goal to lose 2-1 after taking the lead.

There have been some brighter moments in the cup competitions, including victories over West Ham and AFC Wimbledon, but Fulham’s league form remains a major concern. They have yet to win at Craven Cottage in the Premier League this season.

Several fitness concerns could impact the team selection. Captain Tom Cairney is being monitored, while Antonee Robinson and Hugo Larsson are doubtful. Joshua King, who has scored twice this season, could again feature in an advanced role.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for Fulham

Leno; Tete, Affengruber, Bassey, Sessegnon; Berge, Charles; Bobb, King, Iwobi; Garcia.

Hull City - Enjoying a fine start

Let’s now take a look at Hull City’s situation. We’ll analyse the team’s momentum, their expectations, and standout players for the trip to London.

Recent form

Hull sit eighth in the table with nine points from six matches, having won twice, drawn three times and lost once. Their latest league outing ended in a 2-2 draw with Everton, with the Tigers fighting back to secure a point at home.

Their only league defeat so far came away to Newcastle, where they lost 2-1. However, Hull have conceded exactly twice in each of their last three league matches after keeping clean sheets in their first three, so tightening up at the back will be a priority.

Hull have some important absentees to manage. Nobel Mendy is ruled out with a groin injury, while Mohamed-Ali Cho and Lucas Gourna-Douath are also unavailable. Mohamed Belloumi, who has three goals and two assists in six league appearances, could return to the starting line-up.

Results of the last five matches

Probable line-up for Hull City

Tzolakis; Coyle, Ajayi, Egan, Herrington, Giles; Belloumi, Crooks, Slater, Thomas; McBurnie.

Predictions for Fulham vs. Hull City - Cottagers under pressure

Fulham are desperate to secure their first Premier League win of the season, but Hull’s promising start makes this challenging. Backing Hull City +1.5 on the Asian Handicap could be an option for those expecting a close contest.

With Fulham under pressure to deliver a result, the hosts may approach the opening stages cautiously to avoid another costly setback. The Draw at Half-Time market is worth considering in that scenario.

Despite Hull’s encouraging form, Fulham have the home advantage and will be eager to respond after their recent disappointments. Our main prediction is Fulham to win.
