Match Prediction: Hull City 2-1 Leicester City

Hull City's recent form has been solid, with three wins in their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, netting ten in those matches. Leicester City, on the other hand, have been drawing a lot lately, with four draws in their last five. This suggests a tight game, but Hull's attacking flair might just give them the edge.

Leicester's defence has been steady, but their attack hasn't been as sharp. Hull will look to exploit this with their forward line, led by McBurnie. If Hull can keep their momentum going, they could nick a win at home. But Leicester's experience might help them grind out a result.

Hull City have been in fine form, winning three of their last five games. They've shown they can score goals, putting three past both Birmingham and Southampton. This attacking prowess could be crucial against Leicester. If they can maintain this level of performance, they stand a good chance of coming out on top.
