Hull City vs Brentford Picks and Predictions for Sunday October 25 2026
Hull have been finding out how unforgiving the Premier League can be. They managed a 2-2 draw against Everton, which wasn’t a bad result, then went to Fulham last Saturday and lost 1-0. Fulham hadn’t won a league match all season. That’s the sort of defeat that makes a manager stare at the table a little longer than he’d like.
Brentford have had their own frustrations, but losing 2-1 to Liverpool last weekend isn’t something to be embarrassed about. The Bees gave Liverpool a match and came away with nothing. Now they’re going to Hull, where the expectation is rather different.
Hull City hosts Brentford at MKM Stadium in Hull, England, on Sunday, October 25, 2026. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:00 AM ET. Brentford are favored around -136, Hull are +350, and the draw is +300. The total is 2.5 goals. Get in on all the action with our free soccer picks.
Hull City Have To Start Turning Chances Into Points
Hull’s 1-0 loss at Fulham last Saturday was a missed opportunity. Fulham had been struggling to win, and Hull were facing a team under plenty of pressure. Instead, the Tigers went home empty-handed. They’d drawn 2-2 with Everton the previous weekend, which showed they could compete with established Premier League clubs. The problem is doing it consistently.

Hull aren’t going to dominate possession against most teams in this division. That’s fine, provided they’re organized and take advantage of the chances they create. Brentford are dangerous when opponents leave space, so Hull can’t afford to get careless trying to force the game. I’d expect them to stay compact and look for opportunities from crosses and set pieces. There’s no shame in making things ugly when you’re fighting for points.
Hull’s attacking options have been affected by fitness concerns, with Mohamed Belloumi, Liam Millar, and others among the players whose availability has needed monitoring this season. Mohamed Belloumi’s ability to run at defenders would be useful against Brentford, but the confirmed lineup matters more than any prediction. Hull need somebody to take responsibility in front of goal. Against Fulham, they didn’t find that finishing touch.
Brentford Have A Better Chance To Get Back On Track
Brentford lost 2-1 at home to Liverpool last Saturday. That’s disappointing when you’ve got the home crowd behind you, but Liverpool have enough quality to punish almost anybody. The Bees have generally looked more capable of creating chances than Hull, and that should make a difference here. They’re not being asked to beat one of the league’s best sides this time.
Brentford are comfortable playing without endless possession. They’ll press when the opportunity is there, move the ball forward quickly, and try to make defenders turn around. That’s a useful approach against a promoted side. Hull can defend deep, but they’ll eventually have to come out and try to score. Brentford should get chances if they stay patient and don’t waste the ball.
The Bees have several attacking options, although injuries have complicated selection at different points this season. Their wide players and forwards need to make Hull’s defenders work, rather than allowing the home side to settle into a comfortable shape. Brentford also have to be careful at the back. Hull have already shown against Everton that they can score twice against Premier League opposition. A clean sheet would make this much easier.
Hull City vs Brentford Picks and Predictions
Brentford Moneyline (-136)
I’ll back Brentford. Hull’s draw with Everton showed some fight, but losing to Fulham afterward was a reminder of where they stand. Brentford have more Premier League experience, and their attacking approach should cause Hull problems. The Bees aren’t exactly a team I’d trust at any price, but -136 is reasonable against a promoted side that’s struggling to collect wins. Hull could make it awkward, particularly at home. I still think Brentford find a way through.
Over 2.5 Goals (-150)
This one is a little less comfortable because Hull may spend plenty of time defending. But Brentford should create chances, and Hull have already been involved in a 2-2 match with Everton. If the visitors score early, Hull will have to open things up. That’s when I can see the second and third goals arriving. Brentford 2, Hull 1.
