Hull City (home)
- Hull have won two and lost three of their last five.
- Hull have won ten, drawn three and lost seven of their 20 home matches in the Championship, conceding 32 goals.
Coventry City (away)
- Coventry have won four of their last five Championship matches.
- Coventry sit top of the pile with 80 points from 39 games.
Head-to-Head
The last two Championship meetings between these two teams have resulted in ties, including a 0-0 draw seven months ago, but I’m taking Coventry to come out on top in this clash.
Key Players
- Haji Wright is Coventry’s main threat, with the US international netting 16 goals in 33 league appearances this season.
- Joe Gelhardt is Hull’s key goal threat with 13 in 32 Championship appearances.
- He has two of Hull’s last five, so he can get on the scoresheet again.
Betting Insights
The Sky Blues are clear favorites, at around 1.92 , after winning four of their last five matches in the Championship.
Prediction
- The Sky Blues have some real momentum right now, and Frank Lampard has made an incredible impact on this team.
- Hull are a well-organised, disciplined team, with Sergej Jakirovic preferring a more pragmatic style of play, but they can be unpredictable, playing with a compact block and situational pressing.
- With Coventry on a roll, I think they will have too much quality for Hull to deal with.
