Hull vs Leicester predictions: Tigers to push Foxes all the way

- Hull are unbeaten in six Championship matches
- Leicester have kept just three clean sheets in their last 10 games in the league
- Recommended bet: Leicester to win and both teams to score

Hull will look to consolidate their spot in the Championship play-offs when they take on league-leaders Leicester City on Saturday.

The Tigers are sixth, two points ahead of seventh-place Norwich City, as they try to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2017.

After six matches without defeat, they will fancy their chances of upsetting Leicester, but the Foxes got back to winning ways with a win over Sunderland in midweek.

Team News

Tigers boss Liam Rosenior is still without strikers Aaron Connolly and Liam Delap due to injury.

Leicester coach Enzo Maresca will welcome Jannik Vestergaard back from suspension, but he may have to settle for a place on the bench after the Foxes kept a clean sheet against the Black Cats.

Ricardo Pereira, Dennis Praet and Kasey McAteer are still sidelined through injury.

The stats

September's reverse fixture finished 1-0 to Hull, but a clean sheet for the Tigers in this meeting looks unlikely as they have kept just three shutouts in three of their last 16 matches in all competitions.

Leicester have lost three of their last four in the league, but they have only lost three times all season on the road in the Championship.

Both teams have scored in five of Hull's last six games and in four of Leicester's previous six Championship matches.

Prediction

The Foxes' advantage is now down to three points at the top of the table, but the midweek victory over Sunderland will have done them the world of good.

Leicester's away form suggests they will be a tough nut to crack over 90 minutes, but they are defensively vulnerable and keeping clean sheets has been an issue for them of late.

The Tigers know they can get the better of Leicester, having beaten them in September, but they have drawn three in a row and it suggests that they struggle to get the job done without a fully-fit squad, which is nothing to be ashamed of.

Leicester's players will have rediscovered some confidence after the victory over Sunderland in midweek and they should come out on top in an entertaining game.
