Command Analysis
Hull City
EnglandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Hull were not among the obvious candidates for relegation from the Championship, while the selection of players did not allow Ruben Selles' team to count on anything more than maintaining a residence permit in the Championship. The first round of the championship was a failure and at the moment the Tigers occupy 22nd place in the table with 22 points, lagging behind 21st Portsmouth by only one point, but at the same time, their competitors have played two matches less, which significantly worsens the situation. Having lost 0:1 to Middlesbrough on the last morning, Hull suffered its 13th defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Belloumi, Palmer, Millar and Zambrano are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Hull have lost two of their last three matches
- Hull have lost to Leeds in their last two matches
Probable line-up: Pandur - Coyle, McLaughlin, Jones, Drame - Alzate, Slater, Burstraw, Puerta, Omur - Joao Pedro.
Leeds United
EnglandCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Leeds were considered the main contenders for promotion and played the first half of the season at a very high level, justifying this status. At the moment, Daniel Farke team leads the table with 52 points, but does not have a serious advantage over competitors, breaking away from Burnley and Sheffield United by only three points. In the last round, Leeds lost points in a home match against Blackburn, failing to hold on to a crucial victory - a 1:1 draw put an end to a series of three victories in a row, but the series without defeats lasted to seven matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gruev is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leeds are unbeaten in their last seven matches, winning five and drawing two.
- Leeds have kept a clean sheet in their last two away games
Probable lineup: Meslier - Biram, Strake, Rodon, Bogle - Rothwell, Tanaka, Solomon, Aaronson, James - Piru.

1.49Tip and bets
Leeds are still leading the table, but the situation is quite fragile and one mistake could result in them leaving the direct qualification zone for the Premier League. It is obvious that the Whites will try to take the maximum after losing points in the last round and will probably go on the attack with a large force from the first minutes. It is obvious that Hull has minimal chances to play to zero today, but at the same time the Tigers will probably also take risks at home and try to play aggressively up front – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.09
Bet on the outcome
Hull has been extremely unstable throughout the championship and alternates successful matches with disastrous ones – the hosts are very far from their best form. In such a state, it will be very difficult to give a serious fight to the motivated Leeds – the opponent has a huge advantage in class, is in excellent form. It makes sense to give preference to the favorite in such a match and count on their confident victory, Hull in its current state is hardly capable of a serious feat.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1) on Leeds. This bet is offered for 1.95
Bet on corners
Leeds are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Leeds. This bet is offered at 1.81
