In that match, Leeds United had 43% possession and 17 shots on goal with 4 on target. Hull City had 9 attempts at goal with 0 on target.
Daniel Farke's Leeds United have seen rewards for their attempts on goal 9 times in their preceding 6 outings. Conversely, the tally of goals that have been scored against them in those same games stands at 5.
Taking a look at their past results, Leeds United:

In their previous game, Watford drew 2-2 in the Championship match with West Bromwich Albion.
In that game, Watford had 65% possession and 13 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. For Watford, goals were scored by Tom Ince (3') and Matheus Martins (23'). On the other side, West Bromwich Albion got 7 attempts on goal with 5 on target. John Swift (14') and Jed Wallace (17') scored for West Bromwich Albion.
Valérien Ismaël's Watford have managed to stick the ball in the net a total of 7 times throughout their previous 6 matches. The overall goals that they have conceded during that period adds up to 7.
Coming into this contest, Watford are without an away win for the past 11 matches in the league. It's not a good run at all.
↔️ Head to head
An examination of their most recent head to head clashes stretching back to 08/04/2014 shows us that Leeds United have won 2 of these and Watford 4, with the tally of draws being 0.
18 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 7 of them for The Whites and 11 coming from The Hornets. That’s an average goals per game of 3.
🗞️ Team News: Leeds United
It looks as if The Whites look set to opt for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Illan Meslier, Sam Byram, Pascal Struijk, Liam Cooper, Jamie Shackleton, Glen Kamara, Ethan Ampadu, C. Summerville, Joel Piroe, Daniel James and Georginio Rutter.
📋 Team News: Watford
Due to a completely injury-free group to pick from, the Watford boss Valérien Ismaël has zero fitness concerns whatsoever before this game.
We are inclined to think that The Hornets could decide to play in a 4-3-3 formation, giving starts to Daniel Bachmann, Ryan Andrews, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, Jamal Lewis, Imran Louza, Francisco Sierralta, Ismael Kone, Thomas Ince, Mileta Rajovic and Matheus Martins.
💡 Prediction
Our assessment is that Leeds United have it within them to score more than once when they play Watford, who could well find it tough getting on the scoresheet.
We reckon that it will be a decent 2-0 winning score for Leeds United come full-time.
