Leicester vs Hull Predictions – Betting Tips and Bet Builder | 21 April 2026

21st April 2026

Leicester City are in a proper mess. Twenty-third in the Championship, 41 points, deep in the relegation mire, and hosting a Hull City side that are sixth and scrapping hard for a play-off spot. Different pressures, same stadium. This one matters more than most for the Foxes.

Lineups and Team News

These lineups are unconfirmed – treat them as predicted rather than guaranteed.

Leicester City (predicted): Stolarczyk; Ricardo Pereira, Lascelles, Vestergaard, Luke Thomas; Oliver Skipp, Jordan James; Fatawu, Joe Aribo; Patson Daka.

Hull City (predicted): Pandur; Lewie Coyle, John Egan, Semi Ajayi, Ryan Giles; Matt Crooks, Hadziahmetovic; Liam Millar, Joe Gelhardt, Mohamed Belloumi; Oliver McBurnie.

Recent Form

Leicester’s last 10 reads W1 D5 L4. One win. They have scored just 8 and conceded 12 – that is relegation form by any measure. At home, with this much riding on results, the pressure on the players will be immense.

Hull are not flying either – W3 D3 L4 across their last 10, with 10 scored and 13 conceded. They are inconsistent, but they are sixth for a reason. They have enough quality to hurt a Leicester side that has been leaking goals.

Key Player Stats and Projections

Statz projects Leicester for 1.64 goals, 14.99 shots, and 4.54 shots on target tonight. Hull come in lower – 1.30 goals, 10.61 shots, 3.65 SOT. On paper, Leicester carry more attacking threat, but their form says the numbers are flattering them.

Patson Daka leads Leicester’s projected scoring with 0.49 goals, 2.46 shots, and 0.89 SOT per game. He is the one most likely to create something when the Foxes press forward.

Issahaku Fatawu projects for 3.12 shots – highest of any Leicester player – though his conversion rate is lower at 0.24 goals. Volume shooter, worth watching for shots markets.

Jordan James in midfield is projected for 2.11 shots and 0.99 SOT – a tidy contribution from deep, especially if Leicester push numbers forward chasing a win.

For Hull, Joe Gelhardt projects at 0.34 goals, 2.13 shots, 0.81 SOT. Oliver McBurnie backs him up with 0.32 goals and 0.87 SOT. Hull’s front two are not explosive, but they are steady in the Championship play-off mix.

Betting Angles

Hull value away: Leicester are in freefall. One win in their last 10, playing in front of fans who know exactly what relegation means. That kind of pressure can go either way – but against a Hull side with play-off motivation and consistency, the value looks away. Hull at 6th vs Leicester at 23rd – the table does not lie.

Card angle – Thomas Kirk: Referee Thomas Kirk averages 4.27 yellows per game across 22 Championship matches this season. Hull are projected for 2.06 yellows and 10.27 fouls per game – the most combative side in this fixture by some distance. With Leicester needing to fight for their lives, expect a feisty one. Kirk will be busy.

Summary

Leicester need points badly. Hull want a play-off place. This has the makings of a nervy, scrappy Championship night – exactly the kind Kirk will be reaching into his pocket for. The bet builder is solid; all four legs have strong recent hit rates backing them up. Hull as value away is the headline angle given Leicester’s form, but tonight could go either way. Statz data says it is tighter than the table suggests.
