Hull City vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction, team news and lineups on Nov. 22, 2026

Hull City vs Brighton opens the post-break schedule with an 11-point gap in the table. Brighton, second on 22 points, have scored 26 goals and conceded seven in the Premier League. Hull City, 13th on 11 points, have drawn five of 10.

The meeting on Sunday, November 22, 2026, sends Hull's organized defense against a Brighton side that regularly scores early. Hull held Arsenal until the 72nd minute on November 7, so the question is whether that discipline can survive an opponent that does not wait to attack.

What is the Hull City vs Brighton prediction?

Brighton are favorites at 65%, with the draw at 22% and Hull City at 16%. Market data as of November 10, 2026. For the latest market probabilities, check the OG.com platform.

Prediction market prices reflect implied probabilities, not guaranteed outcomes, and they can change as traders react to new information.

Brighton have won four of their last five league games, scoring 10 and conceding two. They won 1-0 at Manchester City on October 31 with 37.6% possession, which shows they can win without controlling the ball.

Hull City's route is narrower. BBC Sport analysis described Sergej Jakirovic's side as well organized and hard to break down, but questioned whether the team scores enough. Hull have scored five and conceded seven in their last five league games.

The reading could change if Mohamed Belloumi returns from a hamstring problem or if Brighton's early goals stop arriving. Hull Live reported that Jakirovic disliked how deep his side sat in the first half of the 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town on October 31. The deciding question is whether Hull can stay compact without retreating that far.

Hull City vs Brighton win probabilities

• Brighton win – 65%

A draw is a distinct result in sports prediction markets on soccer, and Hull have drawn five of their 10 league games. Brighton have won seven of 10 with a +19 goal difference.

What is the latest Hull City team news?

Hull lined up in a 5-3-2 at Arsenal, where Jakirovic said he added a third central midfielder to narrow the middle. Semi Ajayi and Nobel Mendy stepped out to cover the pockets between the lines. Hull Live reported that the team also used a 5-4-1 and a 4-3-3 earlier in the season, so the shape for Brighton is not settled.

Belloumi missed the Arsenal game with a hamstring problem and withdrew from Algeria's squad to recover in Hull. Jakirovic said the plan is to have him ready for Brighton. Mohamed-Ali Cho started in his place, his first Premier League start of the season, according to theScore.

Hull Daily Mail reported that Hidemasa Morita and Matt Targett are still working back from injuries and that Charlie Hughes was due to play for the Under-21s on Tuesday. Premier Injuries lists Targett's potential return as December 19.

What is the latest Brighton team news?

Brighton's attacking depth is returning. Fabian Hurzeler said there is "big hope and big belief" that Kaoru Mitoma, out since a hamstring injury in May, could face Hull, but it might take one or two more weeks. Stefanos Tzimas, who tore an ACL in December 2025, is further along, and Hurzeler expects him back training with the team after the break.

Yankuba Minteh made his first Premier League appearance of the season off the bench against Brentford after a preseason injury. He is now away with Gambia for African Cup of Nations qualifiers on November 12 and 17. Ferdi Kadioglu returned to the bench after a hip injury.

For the Brentford game, Hurzeler went back to the XI that won at Manchester City, dropping five players who started the Conference League win at Getafe on November 5. Chema Andrés, who missed Getafe, returned.

What could decide Hull City vs Brighton?

Five questions shape this fixture, starting with the opening quarter hour.

Can Hull City's back five survive Brighton's early pressure?

Brighton scored within 15 minutes in three of their last five league games: against Crystal Palace (4th, 7th and 10th minutes), Manchester City (11th) and Brentford (15th). Hull conceded first in three of their last five league games, against Fulham, Ipswich Town and Arsenal.

An early deficit would pull Hull out of the compact shape Jakirovic wants. Three of the seven goals Hull conceded in that stretch came between the 68th and 74th minutes, so a level game into the second half suits them best.

Can Hull City score enough against Brighton's defense?

Brighton have conceded seven league goals in 10 games, fewer than every club except Arsenal. Hull have been outshot 83-42 over their last five league games and faced 32 shots on target to their 12.

Jakirovic said Hull needed better decisions on counter-attacks at Arsenal. Few chances leave little margin against a defense this tight.

Does Mohamed Belloumi's hamstring change Hull City's attack?

Belloumi had three goals and two assists in his previous nine appearances before the injury, according to theScore, and he scored in the 2-2 draw with Everton on October 11. Without him, Hull managed two shots on target at Arsenal.

A return would give Jakirovic a proven scorer to pair with Oliver McBurnie, who scored against Brentford and Ipswich Town.

Can Brighton find space between Hull City's lines?

Arsenal's own analysis of the November 7 game pointed to passes into Martin Ødegaard between Hull's lines and a one-on-one chance for Kai Havertz, even with Hull's third midfielder narrowing the middle. Brighton's Ayari, the most advanced midfielder in Hurzeler's 4-2-3-1, scored against Palace and Manchester City.

Gómez has scored from long range against Palace and Brentford. A deep Hull block would give him shooting room, and a Hull side that steps out would leave space behind its back five.

Does the break help Brighton's rotation?

Brighton finished a run of five successive away games, covering more than 5,000 miles, with the win over Brentford at the Amex. The break gives Hurzeler time to bring Minteh back to match fitness and possibly Mitoma and Tzimas, adding options to a bench that already included Georginio Rutter and Jack Hinshelwood.

What does the Hull City vs Brighton head-to-head history show?

Across nine meetings since 2011, Brighton won two, Hull City won three and four ended level, all in the Championship or FA Cup. The most recent was a 0-0 draw at Hull on February 16, 2016, and none of the nine came in the Premier League. A decade of squad turnover makes it a thin guide to this game.

What could move Hull City vs Brighton prediction before kickoff?

Several pending developments could change the picture before kickoff.

• Hull's medical staff must decide whether Belloumi's hamstring is ready, which would change the front line.
• Brighton's coaches could bring Mitoma, Tzimas or Minteh into the squad, adding pace and depth to the attack.
• Hull's 13 international players and Brighton's call-ups, including Minteh with Gambia, return from duty with different workloads.
• Confirmed lineups usually arrive about an hour before kickoff, and prices across the daily sports prediction markets can move as they do.
