Fulham vs Hull City Prediction and Tips: Corners
Nadia Ferreira checks the corner counts behind Fulham's bottom-of-the-table form and Hull City's steady away numbers to find where the total corners line sits.
The prediction is at the end of the analysis ↓Two sides whose matches keep producing corners
Fulham are bottom of the Premier League without a win in the league this season, but their matches have still been busy at the corner flag: their last four league games have produced 8, 13, 16 and 7 total corners, an average of 11.0, even while they were losing three of the four. Hull City, eighth in the table and the better-performing of the two newly promoted sides, have been involved in even more: 7, 15, 11 and 13 total corners in their own last four league games, an average of 11.5, including 15 in a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea and 13 in a 2-2 draw at Everton.
Individually, Fulham have won an average of 5.75 corners a game themselves over that stretch and Hull City 5.25, both useful attacking numbers for sides occupying the bottom half of the table. Put the two matches' corner-producing tendencies together and the total corners line on offer here sits below what both sides' own recent matches have actually produced.
We could not confirm either side's starting eleven three days out from kick-off, which matters more for a corners bet than most — a change at full-back or winger can move a team's corner count by a third — but nothing in the team news points to either side changing a system that has been producing plenty of corners regardless of personnel.
At 1.92, over 10.5 corners is the pick, backed at a trimmed stake given how much corner counts can swing from one match to the next.

Team news
No confirmed starting line-up was available for either side three days out from kick-off.
<p>Corner counts are volatile from match to match, and the stake is trimmed to reflect that. Fulham are bottom of the table and could be overrun early; if Hull City score twice quickly and are able to sit on the lead, that tends to reduce total corners rather than add to them, which is the main way this line loses.</p>
Verdict
At 1.92, over 10.5 corners implies a 52.1% chance. Fulham's own league matches have averaged 11.0 total corners and Hull City's have averaged 11.5 over the same four-game stretch, both comfortably above the line being offered here. Over 10.5 corners is the pick.
