Match Analysis
Hull City host Brighton at MKM Stadium in Premier League, Regular Season - 11. Kick-off is scheduled for Sunday 22 November 2026 at 14:00 UTC.
Form Guide
Hull City — All Games: 3W 5D 2L from 10 Premier League outings this season, averaging 1.40 points per game. Last five: L D L D D. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. This season is still relatively young for Hull City, so this record blends games from this season and last.
At home at MKM Stadium, Hull City have gone 3W 7D 0L this season (10 games, 1.60 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at MKM Stadium.
Looking at all fixtures this season, Brighton stand at 6W 1D 3L from 10 Premier League matches — 1.90 PPG. Last five: W W W L W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.40 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No. This season is still relatively young for Brighton, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Brighton's away record: 5W 1D 4L from 10 road trips in Premier League this season (1.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 5 away clean sheets from 10 games (50%) — they are as difficult to score against on the road as they are at home. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
The form data does not support a straightforward home bias here. Brighton are 0.50 PPG ahead (1.90 vs 1.40), making them the form-guided selection despite the trip.
Trading Patterns
Hull City in-play and half-time data (47 games, 24 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).
Brighton in-play and half-time data (47 games, 24 at away): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 46% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 42% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Hull City 57% versus Brighton 49%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Hull City 53% | Brighton 51%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Hull City 1.12 xG and Brighton 1.56 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Hull City attack 0.899 / defence 1.088 | Brighton attack 1.229 / defence 0.871. League average goals — home 1.429 / away 1.170. Brighton have an above-average attack strength of 1.229 — the away xG of 1.56 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 9 Hull City games / 47 Brighton games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Hull City 27% | Draw 25% | Brighton 48%. Fair-value odds: Hull City 3.70 | Draw 4.00 | Brighton 2.08. Brighton hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 50% | BTTS probability 53% | Total xG 2.68. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 50%/50% — the total xG of 2.68 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 53% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Brighton at 48% — moderate model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Brighton offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 2.68 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 50% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 53%. This conflicts with form data: Hull City 50% | Brighton 30% from recent games — a notable divergence.

How the Model Works This Match
The model rates Hull City's attack at 0.90x the league average against Brighton's defence at 0.87x — combine the two and it projects 1.12 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Brighton's attack versus Hull City's defence, projects 1.56 expected goals for the visitors.
