Fulham vs Hull City Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 17 October 2026
🔊 Fulham and Hull meet at one of London's grounds this Saturday. One of the pre-season favourites to struggle takes on one of the early surprises of the campaign. Both sides have been inconsistent in their results, and this fixture is a good opportunity to pick up some important points. The Cottagers need to climb off the bottom of the table, while the Tigers are looking to rediscover the form that brought them good results in the opening rounds and put together another unbeaten run. There is plenty at stake in the points battle, and the intrigue should last right until the final whistle.
A lot has changed since their last head-to-head.
📊 The head-to-head record doesn't tell us much here, as the two sides meet rarely. The last time they faced each other was in the FA Cup three years ago, when Hull were not the threat they are today, and Fulham knocked the Tigers out of the competition with a 2-0 away win.
Head-to-head statistics Fulham - Hull City
Fulham: still searching for their first win
Fulham are yet to register their first league win of the season and go into the seventh round of fixtures sitting bottom of the table. Álvaro Arbeloa has been trying different approaches - at times pragmatic and focused on holding a result, at others playing an open style that produces five goals in a match. We saw both extremes: a goal-filled encounter with Crystal Palace that cost Fulham points in a 2-3 defeat, followed by a goalless draw at Anfield against Liverpool that earned the side a single point.
Fulham's struggles in the Premier League have been offset by success in the League Cup. They have come through several rounds to reach the fourth round of the competition. The Cottagers saw off Wimbledon, beating the lower-profile opponents 3-0, and also defeated West Ham, who made it a contest before going down 3-2.
Match Results: Fulham
Hull lack consistency
The Tigers have squandered the momentum they built in the opening rounds. Sergei Yakirovich's side have been trying to turn their results around, but recently most of their matches have ended in draws, with no wins at all. The first two fixtures of the new league season went well, and the visitors collected six points. Over the last four rounds, however, the Premier League newcomers have managed only three draws and nothing more.
That poor run in the league has carried over into their League Cup campaign. Their opening match in the competition, against Stoke City, ended in a Hull victory on penalties. The draw then paired Hull with another Premier League side - Sunderland. The Black Cats won by a single goal and ended Hull's League Cup run.

⚽ Goal Prediction
In our view, the bookmakers are underestimating the away side and offering unjustifiably high odds on them. We think this is a good opportunity to take advantage of that. Hull have scored in 5 of their 6 Premier League matches this season, netting eight goals in total. Our prediction is Hull Team Total - Over 0.5 Goals, priced at 1.5*.
🚩 Corner Prediction
At home, the London side traditionally take the initiative, making active use of the flanks and delivering a high volume of crosses into the box. Hull on the road tend to sit back and set up a compact positional defence. Their defenders don't take risks and clear the ball behind the byline at the first opportunity. Prediction - Total Corners - Over 9.5 at 1.58*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The home side are an aggressive outfit at their ground. Against physical, combative teams willing to get stuck in - which Hull very much are - the Londoners are happy to meet them in the challenge, and that noticeably raises the overall temperature of the match. The visitors' base style revolves around tight, muscular duels, which regularly produces tactical fouls. The prediction is Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 at 1.61*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
All three of Fulham's home matches this season have seen Both Teams to Score land. It is their home games in particular that tend to produce goals at both ends. This fixture looks like a good opportunity for the hosts to claim their first win of the season, taking advantage of the visitors' attacking style and inconsistent results. Hull have scored in every away match this season, which suggests they will find the net against a side sitting bottom of the Championship. The prediction is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-1.
