H2H  


Hull have a 21-18 advantage against Coventry, alongside 13 draws. 

Hull Dropping a lot of Championship Points


Hull have fallen behind in the automatic promotion race in the Championship. The Tigers are five points off the top two and have won just two of their previous six games.

Sergej Jakirovic’s lost key matches against fellow promotion hopefuls Ipswich 1-0 and Millwall 3-1. Hull continued their patchy form with wins against Wrexham 2-1 and Sheffield Wednesday and a 3-0 defeat at West Brom.

The Tigers dropped further points in a 1-1 away draw at relegation-threatened Oxford. Mohamed Belloumi scored in the fourth minute before Hull allowed 3.3 XG and conceded later in the first half. 

Coventry Leading at the Top


Frank Lampard’s Coventry have moved 11 points clear at the top of the table after some strong results. The Midlands side have won eight of their previous nine, including four away victories.

Coventry comfortably beat Bristol City 1-0 and Swansea 3-0 away before the international break. The Sky Blues had over 1.5 XG and 14 total shots on target in those victories.

Lampard’s side extended their lead at the top of the Championship with a 3-2 triumph against Derby. Coventry had 2.21 XG and goals from Frank Onyeka and Jack Rudoni scored to secure the victory. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Hull (4-2-3-1): Ivor Pandur; Cody Drameh, Semi Ajayi, Charlie Hughes, Lewie Coyle; Jesper Lundstram, Matt Crooks; Kyle Joseph, Joe Gelhardt, Liam Millar; Ollie McBurnie

Defensive trio Ryan Giles, Matty Jacob and Akin Famewo are ruled out due to injury. 

Midfielders Darko Gyabi, Eliot Matazo and Regan Slater are also injured and unavailable here. 

Coventry (4-2-3-1): Carl Rushworth; Milan van Ewijk, Luke Woolfenden, Liam Kitching, Jay Dasilva; Frank Onyeka, Matt Grimes; Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Josh Eccles, Ephron Mason-Clark; Ellis Simms

Defender Miguel Brau and goalkeeper Oliver Dovin have long-term injuries and won’t feature.

Brandon Thomas-Asante is doubtful due to a hamstring issue. Frank Lampard explained that the attacker would be a doubt for the Derby and Hull games and said, “He came off with a bit of a tight hamstring so he basically had a minor injury there.

“So we’ll have to see where he is for these two games.”

Verdict

Hull are inconsistent and Coventry are hitting top form for the run-in. The Championship leaders can seal another win against the Tigers.
