The Midlands club are just three points above the Premier League relegation zone after they were consigned to a 4-1 hammering at Swansea City.
That defeat at the Liberty Stadium last Saturday ensured out-of-sorts Villa have picked up a meagre one point from their last six games and increased the pressure on Lambert.
Gabriel Agbonlahor this week referred to Villa's last home game of the campaign as possibly the biggest of the players' careers.
Lambert's future has been called into question not only due to their dismal form, but also given that owner Randy Lerner is considering selling the club.
The 44-year-old could, however, finally have reasons to be cheerful if Villa's record against Hull is anything to go by.
Steve Bruce's Hull side are not mathematically safe, but it is highly unlikely they will make an immediate return to the Championship.
Matt Lowton could return to the Villa starting line-up after impressing Lambert with his display in the second half at Swansea, having replaced Leandro Bacuna at the break due to the Dutchman feeling unwell.
It remains to be seen if fellow Villa defender Joe Bennett (ankle) is available to return, while Bruce could opt to hand a start to Sone Aluko after the Nigeria forward made an impressive impact as a substitute at Craven Cottage.
