- Leicester City have failed to win any of their last 5 Championship matches, drawing 3 and losing 2.
- Hull City have won 10 and drawn 4 of their 21 away matches in the Championship season.
Foxes in a sorry state
Gary Rowett took over as Leicester City manager in February 2026 and initially steadied the ship for the Foxes, who were in danger of being relegated to League One. They have now gone 5 Championship games without a win (D3, L2) and find themselves 23rd in the table with just 41 points from 42 games.
A win on Tuesday would all but ensure their survival, but the Leicester City vs Hull City prediction is influenced by the Foxes' recent struggles at home, as they have failed to win any of their last 3 at the King Power Stadium (D1, L2). Rowett’s men play a slow, positional style of soccer, preferring to control the ball and overload the midfield in structured build-up play. It will be interesting to see how they cope against Hull City’s more vertical game, where the Tigers press high up the pitch and play at pace through the middle and half-spaces.
Patson Daka has scored 2 of Leicester’s last 4 goals and looks a good option in the anytime scorer market. This Leicester City vs Hull City preview suggests Jordan James is the Leicester top scorer this season, with 10 goals in 30 appearances in the Championship campaign, making him their biggest threat going forward.
Tigers have the bite to edge this clash
Hull City have had a mixed run of form in the Championship, winning 1, drawing 2 and losing 2 of their last 5 games. Sergej Jakirovic’s high-energy approach since taking over as manager in June 2025 has kept them in the playoff race, however, and they currently occupy 6th position in the division with 68 points from 42 matches.
The Tigers have not won any of their last 3 away games, however (D1, L2), but are priced at 3.5 to take all 3 points against Leicester in what is a crucial game for both clubs. In fact, our Leicester City vs Hull City prediction takes into account Hull's superior record in the league this season, a much better head-to-head record against Leicester and a more dynamic away style that could be well-suited to snatching the win against the faltering Foxes.
Oli McBurnie is Hull’s top scorer this term with 14 goals in 33 Championship appearances and offers a good chance of getting on the scoresheet on Tuesday. For those looking at Leicester City vs Hull City betting tips, Hull have conceded an average of just 1.33 goals per game away from home, so they are capable of frustrating Leicester’s attacking players and should have the ability to break through the Leicester defense at the other end.
