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: 4W 4D 2L from 10 Premier League outings this season, averaging 1.60 points per game. Last five: D D L D L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 0.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.70 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 6 clean sheets from 10 games (60%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes. Hull City have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
At home at MKM Stadium, Hull City have gone 4W 5D 1L this season (10 games, 1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.20 goals scored and 0.80 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: D W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.60 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. Brighton have played only a handful of Premier League games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Brighton's away record: 5W 1D 4L from 10 road trips in Premier League this season (1.60 PPG). They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 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 figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Hull City 1.60 PPG, Brighton 1.90 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
Trading Patterns
Hull City in-play and half-time data (45 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 64% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).
Brighton in-play and half-time data (45 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 77% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Hull City 56% versus Brighton 51%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Hull City 53% | Brighton 53%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Hull City 1.23 xG and Brighton 1.78 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 0.907 / defence 1.003 | Brighton attack 1.401 / defence 0.897. League average goals — home 1.513 / away 1.269. Brighton have an above-average attack strength of 1.401 — the away xG of 1.78 is driven by genuine attacking quality on the road. Data: 7 Hull City games / 45 Brighton games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Hull City 26% | Draw 24% | Brighton 50%. Fair-value odds: Hull City 3.85 | Draw 4.17 | Brighton 2.00. Brighton hold a narrow Poisson edge at 50% — the draw (24%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.01. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.01 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% 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 50% — moderate model lean. With a 24% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Brighton offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.
Poisson projects 3.01 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 58% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 59%. This conflicts with form data: Hull City 50% | Brighton 30% from recent games — a notable divergence.
