Leeds
After 39 rounds, the "Whites" currently occupy the second position in the league table. The competition in the upper echelons is fierce, with teams frequently swapping places after each round. In the previous match, Leeds conceded their top spot, drawing 2-2 against Watford away from home. At halftime, Leeds found themselves trailing 1-2, but managed to avoid defeat by scoring their second goal five minutes before the end of the match.

Hull City
The "Tigers" are also among the teams aspiring to secure a spot in the playoffs. However, their recent performance suggests that Hull City is simply seeing out the remainder of the season. Currently, they sit in 9th place in the league table, trailing the teams in the top six by six points. In their last match, Hull City suffered a 0-2 defeat at home against Stoke City, conceding twice in the second half. Consequently, after four consecutive draws, the "Tigers" ended up on the losing side. On the contrary, Hull City boasts a successful five-match unbeaten streak away from home, including four wins and one draw in their most recent encounter.
