If you are looking for premier league predictions backed by early-season form, this Round 8 fixture offers plenty of stat-led angles.
Who Will Win?
Hull City come into this fixture in pristine touch, holding a 2-0-0 overall record with three goals scored and none against. Their most recent start delivered a 1–0 away win over Coventry City on Sun, 30 Aug, which followed an impressive 2–0 home victory against Manchester United. That gives Hull City a big tick at home, but head-to-head market movers have shifted toward the visitors. Hull City have 4.5→4.75 (drifted) in head-to-head betting, while the draw has also 3.9→4 (drifted).
Brentford hold a 1-1-0 record and four ladder points, backed by four goals scored and just one against. They are coming off a 1–1 away draw against Leeds United on Sun, 30 Aug, having previously defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 at home. Punters have shown early support for the away side, with Brentford 1.68→1.62 (firmed) in match-winner markets. Given their strong goal-scoring start, Brentford rate a real chance, but Hull's rock-solid defensive wall makes this a tight clash.
