Hull's equivalent sample is far more level, seven wins, eight draws and five losses, with 23 scored and 18 conceded. A lot of those draws suggest a team that's hard to beat but not banging in goals either.

Brighton look the more free-scoring side right now, while Hull's draw-heavy run points to tighter, lower-scoring games.

Comparative Team Statistics: Hull City vs Brighton

History doesn't say much about now

The head-to-head record goes back to between 2011 and 2016, mostly Championship and FA Cup meetings. Hull won more of those, often by a single goal, with a few goalless draws thrown in.

It's worth remembering this is old data from a different era for both clubs, so it shouldn't carry much weight on current form.

League table tells its own story

Brighton sit third with 16 points from seven games, winning five and losing just once. Hull City are down in ninth on nine points, with two wins and three draws from the same number of matches.

That's a six-point gap built on a much healthier goal difference for Brighton, who've conceded only five compared to Hull's seven.

Brighton's early-season numbers put them among the league's form sides, while Hull are still finding consistency.

Key names to watch

Brighton's P. Groß has been involved in plenty, three goals and three assists in five matches, showing he's central to their attacking play. Kostoulas and Yalcouyé have also chipped in with two goals apiece in that same stretch.
