Hull City have had a rough time lately, losing five of their last six games. Brentford are also struggling and haven't won recently, with three straight defeats and two draws. The last time these teams met was five years ago, so past results don't tell us much here. Hull are in slightly worse shape given their recent losing streak, but neither side is in a rich vein of form.

Most of Hull's recent games have had at least three goals, suggesting matches involving them tend to be open and high-scoring. Brentford's recent matches have been more mixed, but they've been poor away from home. Given that both teams are struggling, this match looks very close and could easily end in a draw, as neither side looks confident enough to take all three points.
