Leicester have not beaten Hull since March 2017
Hull have registered back-to-back victories for the first time this season
Recommended bet: Draw and over 1.5 goals
Sergej Jakirovic’s Hull City welcome promotion-chasing Leicester City to the MKM Stadium on Tuesday evening, as both teams hope to extend their current unbeaten records.
Team News
Experienced midfielder John Lundstram is unavailable once again after missing Saturday’s 3-2 win at Birmingham due to an ongoing calf issue. Algerian ace Mohamed Belloumi is still out with the hamstring injury he suffered during Hull’s meeting with Southampton in late September and is not expected to return until the end of next month.
Eliot Matazo continues his rehabilitation after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament back in February, but is expected to return around Christmas time.
The visitors are a little short on central defensive options, but can at least rely on the trusted partnership of Wout Faes and Jannik Vestergaard. Australian international Harry Souttar is yet to play in 2025 after rupturing his Achilles tendon at the back end of last year, while youngster Ben Nelson is also on the treatment table.

The stats
Only Southampton have drawn on more occasions than Leicester City so far, with six of the Saints’ 10 Championship clashes ending all-square.
Leicester City rank third in the division for volume of shots on target (48).
There have been two or more goals in nine of the East Midlanders’ 11 fixtures this term.
The Tigers are the English second tier’s second-top scorers, although they’re currently 12 goals behind Frank Lampard’s rampant Coventry City outfit.
Hull have only lost once since the Championship resumed following the September international break.
Tuesday’s hosts have taken 10 points from their opening five league contests at the MKM Stadium.
Prediction
Saturday’s stalemate with Portsmouth was incredibly Leicester’s fifth draw in their last six league outings, three of which have ended in the same 1-1 scoreline. A resounding 3-1 victory over Swansea City in South Wales was the anomaly in this sequence.
Marti Cifuentes’ men have amassed eight points on the road already this season, so they will be confident of securing at least a share of the spoils on Tuesday night.
However, they did lose two away matches in August, going down 2-1 at Preston three days after suffering an early EFL Cup elimination at the hands of League One Huddersfield Town.
Hull currently occupy 10th position in the Championship table, finding themselves within touching distance of the play-off places following an impressive run of form.
Lowly Blackburn Rovers are the only visiting team to have secured maximum points at the MKM Stadium this season, having won 3-0 there in August.
There have been three or more goals in all but two of Hull’s Championship contests this term, while the Tigers shared a 3-3 draw with Wrexham (before losing the subsequent shootout) in their only EFL Cup tie.
