Two unbeaten starts collide when Hull City host Brentford on Mon, 26 Oct, 1:00 am AEDT.

That perfect defensive record has them sitting third on the ladder with two wins from two games, while Brentford sit fifth after taking four points from six. 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.
