Hull City: Form and Statistics

Form: WWDLW

Hull City are in a confident mood heading into this clash. Last Saturday, they traveled to St. Andrew's Stadium to lock horns with Birmingham City. They were tipped to struggle before a ball was kicked, but to everyone's surprise, it was them that overpowered their opponents in a 3-2 victory.

In light of that result, the Tigers have now won two consecutive league games for the first time since September 28th, 2024. Notably, they have lost just one of their last six matches and are unbeaten in the last three.

Head coach Sergej Jakirović will be confident snatching three points in this fixture. That confidence stems from his team's performance at the MKM Stadium. Having won three of the last five matches at this venue, they currently boast the third-best home record.

Hull City: Team News

Hull City have three players in the injury room, including Mohamed Belloumi (hamstring injury), John Lundstram (calf injury), and Eliot Matazo (knee injury). Brandon Williams is another name that won't be available for selection. The 25-year-old is currently lacking match fitness.

It's likely that head coach Sergej Jakirović is expected to make some minor changes to the side that beat Birmingham City. We could see Liam Millar being introduced in midfield here, meaning Babajide David Akintola will have to sit this one out.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Pandur; Coyle, Egan, Hughes, Giles; Hadziahmetovic, Slater; Millar, Gelhardt, Joseph; McBurnie.

⛔️ Out: Mohamed Belloumi (hamstring injury), John Lundstram (calf injury), Eliot Matazo (knee injury), Brandon Williams (lacking match fitness).

👤 Head coach: Sergej Jakirović.

Leicester City: Form and Statistics

Form: DWDDD

Despite being favored to secure maximum points and having home advantage in their recent EFL Championship game against Portsmouth, it appears Leicester City were not up to the task.

In that match, Martí Cifuentes' charges could only manage a point in a drab 1-1 draw. Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring in the 26th minute before his effort was canceled out in the second half by John Swift.

Before this, Foxes began the month with a 3-1 away victory over Swansea. This comes after a turbulent period in the month of September, which witnessed them go four matches without a win (D4).

Leicester City: Team News

Leicester City have two players in the injury room, including Harry Souttar (Achilles tendon injury) and Stephy Mavididi (hamstring injury).

Other than that, head coach Martí Cifuentes is expected to field a strong starting lineup. The lineup that drew 1-1 against Portsmouth is likely to remain unchanged. This means we could see Julian Carranza lead the attack while Jeremy Monga and the terrific Issahaku Fatawu are expected to provide support from the wings.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Stolarczyk; Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Thomas; James, Winks; Fatawu, Ramsey, Monga; Carranza.

⛔️ Out: Harry Souttar (Achilles tendon injury), Stephy Mavididi (hamstring injury).

👤 Head coach: Martí Cifuentes.

Hull City vs Leicester City Match Prediction 21 October 2025

Hull City are underdogs in this clash, but I think the bookmakers are underestimating them. Sergej Jakirović's side have gone three home league games without defeat, and two of those matches resulted in victory. Their last league game against Birmingham was a spirited display, and we could see them replicate the same performance here.

Leicester City are unbeaten in their last four away league games, but their shaky performance that has seen them fail to grasp on wins could turn out to be their demise. In this fixture, they've won just one of their last six competitive matches and are winless in the last two. Their last meeting ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw. That said, picking a winner here is not easy, but goals are expected to be in high demand. The home team has seen four of their last five home matches this season produce over 2.5 goals, while the visiting team's last away match resulted in a 3-1 victory.

Our match prediction: Goals - Over 2.5 for a coefficient of 1.90 in the Bet365 bookmaker.

Our betting tip on the match: Both Teams To Score - Yes for a coefficient of 1.68 in the 1xbet bookmaker.

Our final betting tip on the match: Correct Score - Hull City 2:2 Leicester City for a coefficient of 9.20 in the Betway bookmaker.
