Competition: Championship
Market: Jannik Vestergaard over 0.5 fouls
Odds: 10/11 @ Pribet
Knowing that their fate can officially be decided on Tuesday night, Leicester will welcome Hull to the King Power.
Starting with the hosts, at the heart of what has been an infamous nightmare, Leicester are now almost certainly facing the prospect of infamous consecutive relegations. Shattering a string of unwanted records this season and dealing with a host of issues both on and off the pitch, Gary Rowett’s side open Tuesday’s showdown sat eight points adrift of safety with just three Championship appearances remaining. Hit with what looks set to be a season-defining 1-0 loss away at Portsmouth over the weekend, the former Premier League champions are now remarkably planning for life in England’s third-tier. Including another 1-0 defeat at home against Swansea earlier in the month, Leicester have mustered just a single win from any of their previous 18 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a rut that stems all the way back to January 10th. Knowing that their fate can officially be confirmed on Tuesday night, Rowett’s squad should be bracing themselves for a fiery atmosphere when they return to the King Power here.
As for the visitors, although Hull might travel to Leicestershire in midweek still clinging to their spot in the play-off places, Sergej Jakirovic’s side are desperately searching for a recent boost. Eventually forced to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against Middlesbrough over the weekend, the Tigers have now failed to win any of their previous four consecutive Championship appearances (one defeat, three draws). Likewise, mustering just a pair of wins from their previous nine attempts, the Yorkshire-based outfit are also looking to find some kind of fluidity in the final third. However, looking to take a giant leap towards punching a shock play-off ticket on Tuesday night, Hull will certainly be excited by their reverse showdown against the Foxes. Landing a 2-1 victory when they welcomed Leicester to the MKM Stadium back in October, it should also be highlighted that Jakirovic’s’ men have registered seven points from their last three Championship battles against Leicester.
