Recent Premier League form

Fulham's last five in the league make for grim reading: draws with Manchester United and Liverpool either side of defeats to Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Chelsea. No wins in that run at all.

Hull, by contrast, have looked lively since coming up. Wins over Manchester United and Coventry, draws with Aston Villa and Chelsea, and just the one defeat at Newcastle. It's a promising start for a promoted club.

On the recent evidence, Hull's form is noticeably stronger than Fulham's right now.

Comparative Team Statistics: Fulham vs Hull City

Head-to-head history

These two have met a dozen times going back to 2013, mostly in the Championship with a couple of FA Cup ties thrown in. Fulham have the better record overall, including a 2-0 FA Cup win at Hull's ground back in January 2023.

None of that really tells us much about where either side stands now, though. It's old data, different divisions in places, and neither club is the same team it was even a couple of seasons ago.

League table snapshot

Five games in, Hull sit eighth with eight points, while Fulham are down in nineteenth with just two. That's a striking early gap between two Premier League clubs.

It's still a small sample, five matches doesn't decide a season, but the numbers back up what the recent form shows: Hull have started well and Fulham haven't.

Fulham need home form to turn quickly if they want to move away from the bottom of the table.

Players to watch

Hull's M. Belloumi has been their main attacking spark this season, chipping in with goals and assists in his last five appearances. Fulham's Thomas Castagne has picked up a couple of yellow cards in the same span, though that's not unusual for a defender facing quick opposition.

Fulham:

Penalty cards:

T. Castagne x 2

Hull City:

Best scorers:

M. Belloumi - 2

There's no fuller squad picture here, so this is more a note on early contributors than a team news update.

How this one could play out

The market has Fulham as clear favourites at home, which is the usual assumption for an established Premier League club against a promoted side. But that sits oddly next to the form and table gap running the other way.

Fulham will want to use home advantage to end their winless run, but Hull have shown they can compete with bigger names already this season. This one could easily be tighter than the price suggests.
