How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
Nottingham Forest
Forest are a pragmatic mid-table team: solid without the ball at City Ground, but short of the creativity to dominate.
Away · promoted
Hull City
Hull are in their first season back and still learning the pace of the division. Expect a compact shape on their trip to City Ground, long spells without the ball and danger from set pieces.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Forest name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Hull score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Forest vs Hull
Hull City head to City Ground for a 2026/27 Premier League fixture that our model sees as a strong lean. We project 2.13 expected goals for Forest and 0.82 for Hull; run that through thousands of simulated matches and Forest win 68% of them. For Hull, an early goal changes everything: chasing teams leave space, and that is where upsets come from.
