Fulham vs Hull Match Summary
Competition | English Premier League |

Match Date | Saturday 17 October 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | London, Craven Cottage |
Fulham vs Hull at Craven Cottage pits the Premier League's bottom side against a newly promoted team sitting eighth, and the pressure is entirely on the hosts.
Fulham have failed to win their last 6 matches in the Premier League, and the late collapse at Ipswich last weekend summed up a fragile start.
Hull are winless in four Premier League outings but have lost just once since promotion, and their counter-attacking threat is exactly what a leaky Fulham defence does not want to see.
History favours the hosts. Fulham have won their last 4 matches against Hull in all competitions. The Fulham vs Hull betting odds agree, with the Cottagers 8/11 with AK Bets.
Fulham vs Hull Form
Fulham are bottom of the table and still without a league win. The defeat at Ipswich, where Ryan Sessegnon scored the opener, summed up a side that struggles to protect a lead. Josh King is the brightest spark going forward, getting shots away regularly through the opening weeks of the campaign.
Hull have been anything but dull since stepping up. There have been over 2.5 goals in Hull's last 3 games in the Premier League, with their defence breached repeatedly. Mohamed Belloumi is the man to watch on the right, directly involved in goals in each of his outings so far.

Hull: Jack Butland (Injured/out), Darko Gyabi (Injured/out), Matt Targett (Injured/out), Ilyas Ansah (Injured/out), Eliot Matazo (Injured/out), Charlie Hughes (Injured/doubtful)
Fulham
Antonee Robinson will be assessed after an ankle injury picked up in training forced him to miss the defeat to Ipswich. Ryan Sessegnon, who scored the opener last weekend, could continue at left-back, while Tom Cairney is hoping to make his first appearance of the season after a knee problem. The probable Fulham vs Hull lineups have the hosts in a 4-2-3-1, with Josh King behind Gonzalo García.
Hull
Jack Butland, Darko Gyabi, Matt Targett, Ilyas Ansah and Eliot Matazo will all miss out for Hull. Charlie Hughes remains doubtful with a groin issue that has kept him out since May. Expect a stubborn back five, with Oliver McBurnie leading the line on his own and Mohamed Belloumi supporting from the right.

Fulham vs Hull Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Fulham to finally get off the mark in an open game. The table screams caution, but our Fulham vs Hull prediction sides with the hosts, who carry an implied probability of around 53% for the home win. Hull's habit of shipping goals is the opening a desperate Fulham side needs, and we expect the total to edge past 2.5 goals rather than this turning into a nil-nil slog.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The projected total sits just above the line, and Hull's recent outings back it up. They have gone over 2.5 goals in their last 3 Premier League games and conceded at least two in each, which is hardly the profile of a side that keeps things tidy.
Fulham to win in the Win Market. Of our Fulham vs Hull best bets, this one asks the most of Fulham's nerve, but 8/11 with AK Bets is a fair price for the outright favourites. They have won their last 4 against Hull in all competitions, and Hull's open, aggressive style should give a possession side plenty of the ball in the right areas.
Fulham vs Hull Bet Builder
Our Fulham vs Hull bet builder tips back Matt Crooks to be carded, Gonzalo García over 2.5 shots, Mohamed Belloumi over 0.5 shots on target and Hull over 1.5 cards.
Matt Crooks has been booked in all four Premier League appearances this term, and an aggressive Hull engine room chasing Fulham's short passing is a recipe for late tackles.
Gonzalo García has been getting shots away freely for Fulham recently, and the hosts should see plenty of the ball against a Hull side happy to sit deep.
Belloumi has found the target with real consistency during his recent run of Premier League starts, and Fulham's struggles against counter-attacks should give him room to run.
Hull have received 2+ cards in 6 of their last 6 Premier League matches. Their aggressive, direct approach makes two bookings a sensible line.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 15/4 and is as short as 11/3 elsewhere.

Fulham vs Hull Talking Points
The big story is Álvaro Arbeloa, handed a three-year deal in July and already under serious pressure with Fulham rock bottom. Hull, who earned promotion from the Championship after a 1-0 win over Middlesbrough in May, arrive with a style built to hurt this opponent. They thrive on counter-attacks and through balls, and Fulham are weak at defending counters and at stopping opponents creating opportunities. The hosts will have the ball, playing with width and attacking down the left, but they are poor finishers and have a habit of letting leads slip. That points to a messy, open afternoon at Craven Cottage.
