Hull vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 09/03/2024, 01:01  by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions

Leicester City will be away to Hull City seeking to maintain their hold on top spot in the English Championship. They are coming up against a Hull team in sixth place and 24 points below them. Hull haven’t lost in six outings but they have regressed recently. Liam Rosenior’s men have drawn their last three games after winning three in a row to begin this unbeaten run. Two of their draws have ended 1-1 including the most recent against Birmingham at home. Failure to win here again could see them drop out of the playoff places. The Tigers, who have won 16 games, will therefore be eager to end this barren run. They won the reverse match against Leicester 1-0 back in September. This as well as their home turf advantage will have them confident of a win here. Hull have amassed 57 points and are two points clear of their closest challengers.

Leicester City ended a run of three successive league wins last time out. Enzo Maresca’s men secured a slim 1-0 victory away to Sunderland to avoid losing their points advantage atop the standings. A loss would have seen them tie second-placed Ipswich on points. They will hope that that dip in form is now well behind them with the race for the title and promotion intensifying. With 10 rounds left to play, the Foxes have a three-point cushion to protect. Leicester have won 26 matches thus far in the league, three more than the second-ranked team.
