Betting Insights
- Leicester City are 2.38 to win this game, but Hull are 2.77 and the draw is 3.44.
- Cifuentes’ side have been in decent form, but their away record in the Championship is two wins, two draws and one defeat according to this Hull City vs Leicester City betting tips analysis.
- We are going to play in the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.86 because both sides have shown defensive frailties and both are capable of hurting opponents at the top end of the field.
- A 2-2 correct score is not out of the question either if the game remains open and both teams keep pressing for goals, which seems likely in this clash of tactical styles.
Prediction
Given Leicester are better and undefeated in five, we think the slight quality advantage and the visitors’ momentum should see them claim at least a share of the points , but the Hull City vs Leicester City prediction is that Hull’s home record and the attacking threat of the likes of McBurnie and Giles could make it a close game.
