Prediction: 0-2
Leeds United
All eyes will be on MKM Stadium when Hull City and Leeds United take on each other in the Championship round 26. The Tigers kicked off 2025 with a 1-0 loss to Middlesbrough, meaning that they could be low on confidence in Saturday’s clash. All Belloumi, Millar, and Rushworth are sidelined with injuries, while defender Ryan Giles should be recalled to the starting XI. Talented midfielder Xavier Simons is pushing for a start as well.
The Whites, meanwhile, have been in a fine form of late, beating the likes of Oxford United, Stoke City, and Derby County, while sharing the spoils with Blackburn Rovers. Leeds United are eager to retain top position in the standings and given Hull City’s poor display against Middlesbrough, away win should be considered. All Ethan Ampadu, Wilfried Gnonto, and Mateo Joseph are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Hull City):
Hull City are a professional football club that was founded back in 1904. The Tigers used to play their home games at Boothferry Park, but they moved to the KC Stadium in 2002. The stadium capacity is 24,450.
Hull impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and, as a result, they returned to the English Premier League. Hull City fans consider Leeds United their main rivals, but Sheffield United are regarded as Hull’s fierce rivals as well. Steve Bruce took over the reins at the club in 2012 and the experienced tactician helped the team book a place in the 2013/2014 FA Cup final, but Arsenal proved to be a big catch for the Tigers in the title decider.
Hull City finished the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign in 16th place in the standings to achieve their highest ever top flight finish. It has to be noted that Curtis Davies was named the team’s player of the year in the 2013/2014 season.
