Watford have failed to win any of their last four matches
Hull have taken four points from their last two league fixtures
Recommended bet: Hull or draw double chance
Watford have only five points to show from their opening six Championship fixtures and back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Blackburn and Millwall have highlighted their lack of attacking impetus.
The jury remains out on manager Paulo Pezzolano and he will be desperate for his Hornets side to return to winning ways at home to Hull, who are making steady progress under the guidance of Sergej Jakirovic.
The Tigers were expected to endure a season of struggle, but last weekend's 3-1 win at home to Southampton means they have eight points from six games, suggesting that they should be looking up rather than down.

Team news
Watford look set to remain without the services of Jeremy Ngakia, Pierre Dwomoh and influential midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze, while goalkeeper Egil Selvik is a doubt due to concussion protocols.
Hull manager Jakirovic would have hoped to name an unchanged side from the one that impressed in victory over Southampton last weekend, but Bachir Belloumi is expected to miss out after sustaining an injury in that game.
Meanwhile, the visitors remain without Harry Vaughan, Liam Millar, Eliot Matazo, Matt Crooks and Semi Ajayi.
The stats
Watford are unbeaten in their last four league games against Hull, having won 1-0 in this fixture in April of last season.
The Hornets have won just one of their last 11 league games and are on a four-game winless run.
Each of Hull's last six games have gone over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring on five occasions.
Three of Hull's four competitive away games this season have ended in draws.
Watford are winless in four matches, having suffered 1-0 losses to Blackburn and Millwall in their last two outings.

Prediction
Hull have so far exceeded pre-season expectations and, having won 3-1 at home to Southampton last time out, they will be looking to build on that form at an out-of-form Watford side.
The Tigers picked up a valuable point on the road in a 2-2 draw at Swansea prior to that and, having also shared the spoils at Coventry, they should have little to fear at Vicarage Road.
The Hornets are still adjusting to Pezzolano's methods, but there has been a distinct lack of attacking quality in recent 1-0 losses to Blackburn and Millwall, with them having only five shots on target across those fixtures.
Watford have won only one of their seven competitive games in 2025-26 and the tide may not turn against a Hull side that appears on an upward trajectory.
