H2H: Fulham vs. Hull – Prediction (Championship

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Fulham have now lost just one of their last nine Championship matches (W3, D5), with both teams scoring in six of those fixtures, and eight producing over 1.5 goals. Losing none of their eight league matches this season wherein they scored first (W6, D2), the ‘Cottagers’ have led at the break in five of 14 Championship games. Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrović has 11 goals so far and scored a hat-trick two matchdays ago – two of his goals have come as first goalscorer, four as last goalscorer. Unbeaten in their last four at home, Fulham have now scored two or more goals in five of their seven league matches at Craven Cottage, whilst keeping three Championship clean sheets here this season. Yet while they’ve netted two or more goals in four of their last six home H2Hs against Hull City (in all competitions), Fulham have only registered one clean sheet.

Just one of Fulham’s seven home league games have seen under 8.5 corners. Hull have received two dismissals across their last four Championship away games. Fulham have scored eight league goals after the 60th minute; Hull have conceded 12 goals during the same period.

Back-to-back league wins for Hull has helped turnaround a two-game Championship losing streak. Meandering in mid-table, nine of the ‘Tigers’ league meetings this season have seen both teams score, with an average 2.86 goals per game so far. Hull’s Jarrod Bowen has eight goals this season (four as first goalscorer) and scored a brace last time out. With an even Championship away record this term (W2, D2, L2), Hull have scored first in four of their six Championship away games this season and are yet to trail at half-time in the league (home/away). They’ve also scored over 1.5 goals in half of their eight competitive awaydays this season, with both teams scoring in five of such matches.
