Hull City host Brentford at Kingston Communications Stadium on Sunday, October 25 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Hull City remain without the injured Eliot Matazo, Matt Targett, Ilyas Ansah, Darko Gyabi and Charlie Hughes, plus the sidelined Mohamed-Ali Cho, while doubtful goalkeeper Jack Butland is managing an arm issue. Midfielder Mohamed El Bachir Belloumi carries the home side’s attacking threat with 3 goals and 2 assists in 514 minutes, alongside striker Oliver McBurnie and wing back Ryan John Giles, who has created 9 chances. Brentford, missing the suspended Yegor Yarmoliuk and Vitaly Janelt plus the injured Joshua Dasilva, lean on attacking midfielder Kevin Schade, who has scored 3 goals and fired 7 shots on target, defender Keane William Lewis-Potter, who has created 10 chances, and striker Igor Thiago, who has managed 17 shots this season.

Hull City vs Brentford Prediction
Signal sees a tight, low-event contest settling in Brentford’s favour, 0-1. Brentford’s 10 points and +5 goal difference from 7 games edge out Hull City’s 9 points and +1 goal difference, and Kevin Schade’s 3 goals should be enough to decide a cagey afternoon. Hull City’s underlying numbers suggest they’re better than their recent run, and the value may lie in backing the home side to keep this close rather than expecting Brentford to cruise.
