Hull City
Sergej Jakirovic is still going to be happy with the start Hull City have made to life back in the Premier League, but that does not mean he is going to be allowing standards to drop. The manager will be demanding a much better performance than the one produced in the 1-0 defeat at Craven Cottage last Saturday and Hull City's supporters will also be expecting the same.
They are 9th in the Premier League table and have already picked up 9 points, but this looks a competitive Division and there is plenty of work to do between now and May to keep The Tigers in the top flight. The results at home will feel very important and Hull City have a 1-2-0 record at the MKM Stadium in the 2026/27 season.
Hull City have not won any of the last 6 games in all competitions, but they have avoided defeat in half of those played. The fight back to earn a 2-2 draw with Everton in the last fixture here means Hull City are unbeaten in 8 at home in all competitions.
Mohamed-Ali Cho and Lucas Gourna-Douath are both hoping to join the squad this weekend, but Nobel Mendy may have to wait a little longer. The Hull City squad is still stretched to the limit with injuries littered throughout.
Brentford
They deservedly took the lead against Liverpool last Saturday, but a sending off right on the brink of half time changed the momentum and Brentford were beaten for the first time this season. Keith Andrews will have been working his players pretty hard over the last seven days to make sure they are ready to react to that defeat ahead of a big week for the team.
The League Cup Fourth Round at Sunderland is to follow this Premier League fixture and Brentford fans will be keen to see the momentum picked back up after a poor return to action since the international break. The Bees are 6th in the Premier League standings, but they will be travelling to Yorkshire with a 0-3-0 away record.
Brentford had been unbeaten in 10 games in all competitions before the 1-2 defeat to Liverpool last weekend, but they have won just 1 of the last 6 Premier League games. While they have won League Cup ties at Birmingham City and Reading, Brentford have not won an away Premier League fixture since the end of February.
Yegor Yarmoliuk and Vitaly Janelt are both suspended after picking up red cards last time out. Jannik Schuster will be hoping to travel with the squad.
Head to Head
Brentford picked up four points from Hull City when they played in the same Division in the 2019/20 Championship season.
The majority of those points were earned from a 1-5 win at Hull City.
Hull City had previously won 4 home games in a row against Brentford before that defeat in February 2020.
Prediction
If you are only judging on form, Brentford being odds on to win any away Premier League game looks very short considering they have not managed to do that since back in February.
However, Keith Andrews will take a squad capable of winning in Yorkshire to the MKM Stadium and Brentford will take some confidence from the goals scored in fixtures at Leeds United, Bournemouth and Aston Villa.
Facing Hull City feels a step down compared with those teams, even if The Tigers have already upset the odds plenty of times in the three months since the Premier League season began.
Last weekend they were really poor in the 1-0 defeat at Fulham, while Hull City may feel a little fortunate to still be unbeaten at home. They have shown plenty of character to come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with Everton in the last fixture here, but the chances Hull City are allowing has to eventually catch up with them.
They will feel they can hurt Brentford going the other way, especially with the changes that need to be made in the midfield.
It makes Hull City dangerous, but Brentford have shown they can take their opportunities away from home and there is a threat in the final third that does give them the edge.
The Bees only won 1 of the 3 away League games played at newly promoted clubs last season, but they should have enough to earn the victory on Sunday.
Nothing will come easily, but that extra firepower in the final third may prove to be the difference for Brentford who can send Hull City to the first home defeat of this campaign by scoring at least twice at the MKM Stadium.
