Leeds News and Form
Leeds looked destined for a home loss against Blackburn on Boxing Day, but then Kemar Roofe came up with two very late goals to give the league leaders a 3-2 win. That was some late drama, but it gave Leeds their seventh straight league victory. That was their fourth straight win on home soil in the Championship as well. In their home games, this season Leeds have come up with a total of 21 goals. That has helped them post their positive home record of W8 D3 L1 for the season. They have only shipped the eight goals at home this season. Less than half of the league games at Elland Road have gone over 2.5 goals
It has been a clean sheet in 50% of their home games this season that Leeds have picked up. They have conceded in their last two at Elland Road though. They are currently running on a fantastic eighteen match scoring streak in the Championship. When they step out on the weekend they will be defending a seven-match unbeaten streak of home form. 71% of their home goals scored this term have been in the second half of games, but they have scored the first goal in seven of their twelve home fixtures. Kemar Roofe has scored five goals in his last four home games

Hull News and Form
The Tigers are in good form after beating Preston in midweek which moved them on to a three-match league winning streak. That’s a great output from them. The Tigers have gone undefeated in their last six league games now (W4 D2) as well which is a huge positive for them. Their overall away record is W4 D3 L5 this season. They have only though won one of their five road games at current top-twelve sides. They have posted three wins in their last five road games so have had that winning touch on their travels.
After such a poor start to the season they are W6 D3 L1 in their last ten league games. Out on their travels in the league, Hull have scored 16 goals, conceding 20 and a third of their away fixtures have gone above 3.5 goals. The Tigers have been leading at half time in five of their twelve away games this season in the Championship. They have produced at least two goals in each of their last five league games so that’s a hot streak of scoring. They are looking for what would be their second away clean sheet only though. They have conceded in each of their last four goals on the road.
