Leeds United vs Hull City Prediction: Leeds are just one point off Ipswich

Leeds United will welcome Hull City at Elland Road in Game Week 40 of the English Championship. Leeds are just one point off Ipswich at the top of the table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

After witnessing Leicester City's loss earlier on Good Friday, Leeds may have been disappointed with their 2-2 draw at Watford. However, it's important to have some perspective. Leeds twice came from behind to earn a draw at Vicarage Road, with Mateo Joseph scoring the second equalizer in the 85th minute. With Leicester still having a game in hand, they are in control of the title race, but Leeds manager Daniel Farke will be hoping his team can clinch the trophy.

Leeds have not lost a game in the Championship in 14 matches, with the draw at Watford being only their second during this run. Additionally, they still have four games left at Elland Road and have maintained a 19-game unbeaten streak at home since the start of the season.

Farke is considering making changes to his starting lineup for the upcoming match. Ethan Ampadu may be brought back into the defense in place of Liam Cooper, while Ilia Gruev could return from injury. If Gruev is not available, Archie Gray may move to the center of the pitch with Connor Roberts potentially taking his place at right-back. Jaidon Anthony and Joel Piroe are options to refresh the attack, with Joseph likely to remain on the bench and Wilfried Gnonto uncertain.

Hull seemed to be in contention for a top-six spot recently, with a seven-match unbeaten streak before the international break. However, their last four games before facing Stoke City ended in draws, causing them to drop out of playoff contention. Despite the favorable matchup against Stoke City at home, Hull failed to capitalize and suffered a 2-0 defeat.

Although Hull still have a game in hand, they now have a six-point gap to sixth place, making it crucial for them to avoid further defeats.

Hull's manager, Rosenior, is also expected to make adjustments, with Tyler Morton possibly being included in the lineup. Aaron Connolly's fitness will be evaluated after his return in the previous match, while Ozan Tufan and Abdulkadir Omur are potential starters.

Although Hull may have the potential to perform better in the future, it is unlikely that they will pose a serious challenge to Leeds in their current form. We expect only Leeds to do the scoring in this game and extend their unbeaten record.
