- Team form: Hull City are winless in their last 5 games, with 2 draws and 3 losses.
- Away form: Brentford are unbeaten in 3 away games, with 3 consecutive away draws.
- Key player: Mohamed Belloumi has scored 3 of Hull's last 5 goals.
The Tigers need a win
Hull City's form is poor and they have taken just 1 point from their last 3 Premier League 2026/2027 matches after a 2-2 home draw with Everton, followed by away losses to Newcastle and Fulham. Sergej Jakirovic's compact 4-2-3-1 setup has turned Hull into a punchy team in transition, but they've lost their spark over the last couple of games and it shows in the results.
At home in Premier League 2026/2027, Hull have managed to avoid defeat in 3 matches, winning once and drawing twice, so the MKM Stadium can be a tricky place to go on Sunday afternoons. Mohamed Belloumi is the Tigers biggest threat and is leading their scoring charts in 2026/2027 with 2 goals in 5 matches.
Brentford can be gritty and will need to be here
Form and recent results
Brentford have had some ups and downs in 2026/2027, but they are a much steadier outfit than Hull City. The Bees are unbeaten in 3 on the road, but all of those matches were draws, so they don't have the same killer instinct away as they do at home.
In their latest away game, Keith Andrews' men held high-flying Aston Villa to a 2-2 draw at Villa Park, a point which kept the Bees in the top 10.
Away stats and style
- Brentford's 2026/2027 away numbers are 1.67 goals scored per away game and 1.67 goals conceded, which suggests we should be in for an end-to-end game at The MKM.
- A free-flowing style of soccer suits both of these teams as the Bees are excellent from set pieces and Andrews' compact structure allows them to dominate the middle third with their pressing.
The Bees have the edge
Hull City are a high-tempo side that like to attack down the wings, so this will certainly be a test for the Bees. However, Brentford's pressing is a little more controlled than that of Hull City, so they could force the hosts into some rushed passes forward.
Kevin Schade is Brentford's biggest threat and is their top scorer in the Premier League 2026/2027 season with 3 goals in 5 games.
This is a tricky match to call, but Brentford are the slight favorites at 1.75, with Hull at 4.3 and the draw at 3.8. I'll take the Bees here, although I do think the draw is the more likely result, with under 2.5 goals another live bet.
