Current Form of Hull City

Hull City went into the October international break feeling good after two straight wins. They first beat Sheffield United 1-0 at home, then won 3-2 away against Birmingham City. These victories were their first back-to-back wins in more than a year, which lifted the team’s confidence.

However, their defense has struggled, allowing 18 goals — more than most teams except Sheffield Wednesday. On the bright side, Hull City’s attack has been strong, scoring 17 goals, the second most in the league.

New manager Sergej Jakirovic has brought new energy to the team, focusing on attacking football. Their passing and movement have improved, but they still need to be more consistent in their upcoming matches.

Leicester City is on a strong eight-match unbeaten run before this game. In their last match, they drew 1-1 at home against Portsmouth. Earlier, they had a solid 3-1 win over Swansea City.

Under manager Marti Cifuentes, the team has earned four wins and five draws in total. They are just one point behind third-placed Stoke City, keeping their promotion hopes alive. Their defense has been solid, and they also have good attacking options.

Predictions and Key Battles
