Leeds vs Hull City Predictions

• The hosts have won their last six matches in the Championship.
• That form has given Leeds an 8 point advantage in the top 2 fight.
• Leeds have won 6-0 on aggregate across their last 2 games.
• Leeds have won to nil in 56% of their home games this term, including 4 of their last 5 here.

Leeds Taking the Lead

Leeds are in storming form in the Championship, with the club aiming for a place in the Premier League. They head into this midweek meeting with Hull on their strongest winning run for a year, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side peaking in their promotion push.

With the Tigers bound for Elland Road, Leeds have been priced up as the heavy favourites to come away with a result. the hosts are chasing their sixth straight victory in the Championship, as they look to make first place their own.

Stellar Leeds

The hosts had a mini-wobble earlier this season, but they have returned to the top two in impressive fashion after an excellent streak of results. The hosts have kept three successive clean sheets going into this clash, while they have an eight-point lead over third in their bid for the automatic promotion spot they missed out on earlier this year.

They are by no means over the line, with Bielsa’s side enjoying a similarly strong run of results back in December last year, which seemed to be the perfect blend of tactical familiarity and match fitness. Now Leeds are peaking once again, so we expect them to hurt a Hull side who have had their problems this term.

Can Hull Keep Up?

the hosts are one of the most blistering sides in the Championship, thanks to their impressive style of play. Given that, it was a surprise that they dropped so many points thanks to taking narrow leads into the latter stages of games. Now Leeds have both tightened up at the back and continued to put more difference between them and their opponents. They come into Tuesday’s clash having won 6-0 on aggregate across their last two clashes.

Meanwhile, Hull lost 3-1 at bottom side Barnsley in their last outing, with Middlesbrough and Huddersfield scoring at least twice against them in their last five away trips. Struggling against such poor sides is damning for Hull, who have lost by two goals in their last two away defeats. We see them being blown away by this Leeds side, so we’re backing the hosts’ winning run to continue with Leeds -1 our pick for this one.

The hosts have won to nil in 56% of their home matches in the Championship this season, while they are on a streak of clean sheets. None of the meetings between these two in the last two seasons have seen both teams score, while the hosts have the strongest defensive record in the division. We’re backing that form to lead them to a 2-0 victory over the Tigers here.
