Leicester vs Hull Prediction: Tigers massive price to down Foxes

Leicester City could get relegated to League 1. A season of true torment will come to an end if they fail to beat play-off chasing Hull City (19:45 BST, Sky Sports Football). 

Gary Rowett’s men sit eight points from safety with just nine points left to play for, so survival looks very unlikely. Below you can find my Leicester vs Hull predictions featuring team news and more.

Team News

Rowett is going to have to do something different after another defeat took his side closer to League 1. Ben Nelson, Caleb Okoli and Victor Kristiansen remain out, while Jordan James should come into the XI having won the Championship’s Young Player of the Season award on Sunday night. 

Abdul Fatawu and Stephy Mavididi should provide the width again, while Harry Winks may be left out after his spat with the fans after full-time at Fratton Park. 

Oli McBurnie and Joe Gelhardt should both start, having scored 14 goals apiece this term. John Lundstram is back from suspension, but Cody Drameh, Regan Slater and Ryan Giles all remain out. 

Football Odds

Leicester vs Hull Odds

Leicester are priced at 10/11 to win this game, giving them an implied win probability of 52%. That comes as somewhat of a surprise, with Hull 11/4 to win and a draw the same price.  

Over 2.5 goals is 4/5, BTTS is 8/11 and Dujuan Richards is the favourite to score first at 5/1.

Hull to win @ 11/4

This price seems pretty baffling to be honest. I’m not sure how anybody could back Leicester to win a game of football right now, especially at a price of 10/11. The club are in dire straits having failed to win any of their last six games, and the atmosphere at the King Power tonight is likely to work against them. 

Hull are in need of the points and are winless in four as they look to cling onto sixth spot, but this game should suit them. They are one of the best counter-attacking teams in the league, and will let Leicester come onto them. 

With Gelhardt, Liam Millar and McBurnie, Hull are one of the best counter-attacking teams in the league, and if they get the first goal, things could turn toxic in the East Midlands. There’s big value in backing Hull here. 

Price Boost - Oli McBurnie to score anytime @ 11/4

Betfred are also offering McBurnie to score anytime at a Price Boost of 11/4, which is worth looking at. The Scottish forward has 14 goals and eight assists in 34 Championship outings so far this season, but only one in his last 10. 

However, Leicester are one of the worst defensive teams in the league having conceded 65 this term, and I think they will be easy opponents for Hull City. McBurnie is worth backing to get another goal at the King Power Stadium.
