Competition: Championship
Market: Draw
Odds: 12/5 @ 1xBet
Knowing that they can move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots, Leicester will travel to the MKM Stadium on Tuesday night.
Starting with the hosts, while Hull might have only just clung to their Championship status last season, the Tigers have certainly made a string of improvements this time around. Rightfully receiving a string of plaudits from across England’s second-tier, the mood in Sergej Jakirovic’s camp should be at a red-hot high. Marking their return from October’s international break with a sensational 3-2 victory away at Birmingham the Yorkshire-based outfit have secured consecutive Championship wins for the first time since opening up the new campaign. In fact, heading into October’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 win against Sheffield United, Hull have registered seven points from their last three outings. Getting Tuesday’s showdown underway sat just two points adrift of breaking into the play-off places, the former Dinamo Zagreb boss could be smelling a potential opportunity to make another statement here. Signing off September with a thrilling 2-2 stalemate at home against Preston, the Tigers have also lost just one of their last six matchups against Championship opposition.
As for the visitors, while Leicester might have entered October’s international break with a much-welcomed 3-1 victory away at Swansea, the Foxes have failed to find any real fluidity since making their Championship return this season. Although Marti Cifuentes’ camp might open Tuesday’s trip to Yorkshire knowing that they can move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots, the former QPR boss has remarkably seen his squad muster just a single win from any of their previous six consecutive outings. Missing out on what they had billed as a potential opportunity over the weekend as they marked their return from October’s fortnight interval with yet another 1-1 draw at home against Portsmouth, Leicester have gained a reputation as the Championship’s ultimate stalemate specialist. Along with three of their previous four Championship showdowns finishing in a 1-1 draw, Cifuentes’ men have also seen five of their previous six matchups finish in both teams settling for a single point. It should also be highlighted, continuing on from last season, the Foxes have mustered just a pair of victories away from the King Power since the end of January.
