Hull vs Leeds Betting Tips & Predictions

Leeds season has been full of short good runs followed by bad runs of results and we are still nowhere closer to knowing which is the real Leeds. They’ve picked up 3 victories on the spin coming into this game to move up to 11th in the league. To be critical you could say that all 3 wins have come against other sides with nothing really to play for and in the grand scheme of things the Yorkshire club have turned it on when it doesn’t really matter. With a home game against already relegated Charlton after this, Leeds now have a good chance of finishing the season in the top half but it would do little more than put some gloss on what has been another unconvincing campaign from one of English football’s sleeping giants.

Hull have secured themselves a place in the play-offs and still have an outside chance of automatic promotion. Their run-in is favourable with 3 home games, where they are very strong and a trip to bottom club Bolton so it is certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that they could win all their remaining 4 games including this one. That would take them to 88 points which might be enough should the pressure get to 2 of the top 3 but it’s not looking likely at the moment.

The Tigers have won their last 2 matches both by 2-1 margins at home to Wolves and away to Reading with late goals sealing victory in both fixtures. At the very least they will want to build some momentum going into the play-offs and they should have too much quality for Leeds here. Hull have only lost 1 of their last 23 home games in this league and the visitors are without a couple of players due to suspension. Both teams have netted in 7 of Leeds’ last 8 matches so they are looking a bit more dangerous in the final third so an away goal is a possibility but backing Hull to again win 2-1 at 8/1 looks to offer value.
