Leeds United welcome the visitors Hull City in the English Championship – Round 25. The match will be held on Saturday, December 29th, at the Elland Road (Leeds).
Under the stewardship of Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds United’s defense has improved a bit. The ‘Whites’ have allowed enough goals in the beginning of the season, now they are leaking less. The hosts are not very effective indeed, they normally score one or two goals, but their victorious streak counts yet six matches. The leader play great at home, featuring five wins in five encounters at the Elland Road. They lost only four points in their last ten fixtures; those were the clashes with West Bromwich and Nottingham Forest though – the teams competing for playoff sports.

Hull City have finally managed to gain a few wins, and they are gradually getting out of the relegation zone. The team still suffer problems in defense, but they started to be more effective. We wouldn’t overestimate their latest successful performance in terms of their coming meeting with the topping Leeds. We may only note their draw against Norwich. Apart from this, the ‘Tigers’ only won the middle-class Championship teams, mostly featuring those wins at home. What will their outing against the leader see? Hull City are not losing in four successive away rounds, but they played ‘to nil’ only against Bolton, the second-last team in the standings.
The opponents’ first term head-to-head registered Leeds’ away win. The hosts suffer no loss to the ‘Tigers’ in three consecutive meetings yet. Their breakaway from the closest pursuers is not that great. We would mention Leeds’ win over Aston Villa in the last but one round as a highlight of this campaign. Bielsa’s side may struggle against defensive clubs. Hull City are none of the kind. Bookmakers are absolutely correct in their odds. Despite the guests’ positive streak, Leeds are currently one level above any opponent in the Championship.
Prediction for the match: Leeds United to win home.
