Hull City vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips | January 4th 2025

Hull City and Leeds United will be looking to secure their first win of the year when they square off in round 26 of the EFL Championship on Saturday. Daniel Farke’s men are unbeaten in each of their last five visits to the MKM Stadium and will be looking to extend this fine run.

Hull City were denied consecutive league wins for the first time this season as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough on New Year’s Day.

The Tigers have failed to win 15 of their last 17 Championship games, losing 11 and claiming four draws since picking up three consecutive victories between September 20 and October 1.

This poor run of form has seen Hull plummet in the league standings as they now sit in 22nd place, level on 22 points with fellow strugglers Cardiff City in the bottom three.

Elsewhere, Leeds United were on course for a New Year’s Day win over Blackburn when Pascal Struijk broke the deadlock from the penalty spot in the 88th minute, but Danny Batth netted in the 90th minute to force a share of the spoils.

Before that, Daniel Farke’s men were on a three-game winning streak, seeing off Oxford United, Stoke City and Derby County in their last two games to close out the year.

Leeds United have picked up 52 points from their 25 games to sit at the summit of the Championship standings with a three-point cushion over second-placed Burnley.
