There is little to separate the two clubs in their head-to-head encounters, as Leicester has won 15, just two more than Hull City’s 13, while the remaining 11 clashes ended in draws.
Hull City team overview
After narrowly avoiding relegation last season thanks to goal difference alone, Hull City seem determined to give their fans a far less stressful campaign this time around, and so far that plan appears to be working as they’ve collected a respectable 15 points to sit 10th in the table.
The second half of their last ten games proved to be highly fruitful for the Tigers, who stumbled only once during that stretch, while collecting an impressive ten points from the remaining four fixtures, closing the gap to just two points behind Millwall, who currently occupy the final playoff spot.
As they head into Championship matchweek 11, Sergej Jakirovic’s chosen ones are riding a positive wave of momentum, having gone unbeaten in their last three league outings, the latest being a dramatic 3-2 triumph away at Birmingham City.
Eliot Matazo remains a long-term absentee, while the availability of John Lundstram and Mohamed Belloumi will need to be assessed before kickoff after both picked up knocks in recent weeks.

Leicester City team overview
Over the past few years, Leicester City have swung between England’s top two divisions, and this season will determine if they can once again embrace their yo-yo identity by pushing for an instant Premier League promotion after the disappointment of relegation.
However, the Foxes’ push for an automatic promotion spot has stalled in recent weeks, as frequent draws have taken their toll, with last weekend’s 1-1 result against Portsmouth marking their fourth stalemate in five league outings.
Boasting a modest haul of 17 points after their initial ten second-tier fixtures, Leicester sit in fourth place and now need to produce more wins to stay in the top-two race, as they currently trail the second-placed team by four points.
Australian centre-back Harry Souttar has been struggling with an Achilles injury for some time and is confirmed to miss this fixture, while Stephy Mavididi will undergo assessment after missing the last two Championship games with a hamstring issue.

Prediction
It’s hard to predict the final outcome of this clash between two teams in good recent form, but it seems likely that both nets could ripple, given that neither side has been able to keep their opponents at bay this season. Although they find the back of the net with ease, Hull City’s defense has been a cause for concern, proving easy to break down and conceding 2+ goals in all but two of their last ten competitive matches. By contrast, Leicester do not look any more reliable than Hull at the back, having kept just one clean sheet from their six away trips this season, which all points to an open encounter at the MKM Stadium, likely to be rich in goals.
Four Reasons we expect BTTS - YES
- Hull City have conceded 2+ goals in 8 of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
- Seven of Hull City’s last eight matches have featured both teams scoring.
- Leicester’s four consecutive Championship matches have ended with a BTTS result.
- The last meeting between these teams at MKM Stadium finished in an exciting 2-2 draw.
