Hull City vs Leeds United Prediction 20.09.2023

• Competition: England - Championship
• Date: Wednesday, 20th, September 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20.45 CEST
• Venue: MKM Stadium (Hull)

In Wednesday's seventh-round Championship clash at MKM Stadium, Hull City and Leeds United will both be determined to extend their impressive runs without defeat.

After a rather turbulent previous season, in which they finished in only 15th place, Hull City has embarked on a new Championship campaign with great enthusiasm and determination to progress to the highest division in English football. The season may be long, but the initial results of the Tigres look promising and indicate that they will fight with full force to achieve their desired goal. With 11 points collected, Hull City currently holds fifth place (play-off position), trailing the leaders Preston by five points.

Among the trio of teams relegated from the Premier League last season, Leeds United finds itself struggling the most, but their determination to swiftly regain their status in English football's top flight remains unwavering. Despite pouring hundreds of millions of euros into team reconstruction at Elland Road over the last two seasons, the substantial investments have failed to deliver the anticipated results. However, with German maestro Daniel Farke now at the helm, armed with his proven formula for securing Premier League promotion - as evidenced by his two first-place finishes with Norwich City in the 2018-19 and 2020-21 campaigns - there is a renewed sense of optimism that brighter days are on the horizon for Leeds United.

Despite a rocky start, including a 1-2 defeat to Norwich on the Championship's opening day and a similar result against Doncaster from the fourth-tier in the EFL Cup, the Tigres quickly bounced back, securing 11 out of a possible 15 points in their next five league fixtures. Now, fueled by their impressive form, Hull City believes they possess the elements to unsettle one of the promotion contenders. Their proficiency in finding the back of the net is indisputable, having scored in each of their first seven competitive matches.

Hull City's defensive line, breached in all but one of their first six league matches, faces a stern examination against Leeds United, who have recently showcased their formidable attacking potential with an astonishing seven goals in their last two Championship away fixtures, including a 4-3 victory over Ipswich and a 3-0 win against Millwall over the weekend. While the quality may be on the side of the visiting team, Hull has proven their ability to wrestle with the giants, defeating Premier League promotion favorite Leicester 1-0 just before the international break. As both teams aim for victory, we expect an exciting contest with goals in both nets.
