Fulham v Hull City Prediction: 16/5 stalemate on the cards at the Cottage

Fulham will look to register their first win of the Premier League campaign when they take on Hull City at Craven Cottage on Saturday.

The Cottagers are rock bottom of the Premier League table on two points and they are already seven points behind eighth-placed Hull.

Ipswich Town got the better of Fulham last weekend in a 2-1 win, while the Tigers dug in to pick up a 2-2 draw against Everton at home.

Fulham v Hull City

Fulham v Hull City Prediction

Best Bet: Draw @ 16/5

The pressure is on Fulham boss Alvaro Arbeloa, with the Spaniard unable to get his team over the line in any of their six league games.

They went down fighting in their opening fixture against Chelsea, but ultimately lost 3-2 to the Blues, while they have also lost by a single goal in their three other defeats to Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Ipswich.

The Cottagers will take some pride from the fact they held Liverpool and Manchester United to draws, but they need to improve if they are to register their first win.

Hull are winless in five in all competitions, but the Tigers have been much more competitive than many expected and three draws in that time prove how stubborn they can be.

While Hull have started better than their hosts, both of their wins came in August and Sergej Jakirovic's side have shipped six goals in three league games.

There have been no signs that they will improve at the back and as a result, it is likely that both sides will cancel each other out in the capital.

Alternative Bet: Over 4.5 cards @ 1/1

Saturday's game will be viewed as a must-win game for Fulham, while the Tigers will expect to collect points against the worst team in the division through six matches.

Both teams are expected to put it all on the line and a passionate affair is bound to lead to cards. Hull have collected the most yellow cards in the division with 19, while Fulham have 12 to their name.

Fulham's players may start to feel the fans' frustrations if things are not going their way, so it would be no surprise to see their players get stuck in and try to rise to the occasion.

Fulham v Hull City Bet Builder Tip

  • Joshua King 1+ shots on target

  • Gonzalo Garcia 3+ shots

  • Both teams to score

  • Matt Crooks to be booked

    11/2

Fulham midfielder Josh King has netted two goals this season from midfield and he is never shy to try his luck.

He has registered 14 shots and half of those have hit the target, so expect him to test the Hull defence when an opportunity arises.

Team-mate Gonzalo Garcia has been a bit more erratic, having fired 23 shots this season towards goal. He has registered three or more shots in six of his eight appearances this season.

Both teams to score is worth adding as our third leg of the bet builder, with Fulham scoring in four of their six league games, while there have been 11 goals scored in Hull's last three outings.

With a feisty game expected in London, it is worth adding Matt Crooks to be booked as a fourth leg.

He has committed eight fouls this season, with seven of them coming in his last four appearances, while he has already been booked four times.
