Coventry City vs Hull Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 13/12/2024, 22:53  by Sridhar in Championship Predictions

Coventry City will look to bounce back from a first loss under Frank Lampard as they host the rock-bottom team Hull City in the Championship. This Round 21 match will be played at the Coventry Building Society Arena as the 16th-placed Sky Blues host the 24th-placed Tigers on Saturday in an interesting battle.

The home team has 21 points and is four above the bottom three ahead of this round. Lampard has been roped in to change their fortunes, but his side was beaten 2-0 by West Brom in their last match. That came on the back of a draw against Cardiff and a win over Millwall in the two prior matches.

Lampard spoke about a lack of confidence for his team that missed a number of chances against the Baggies. The home team will take confidence in the fact that they haven’t lost consecutive matches across their last ten matches.

The Sky Blues will look to improve their fortunes at this venue, having won five points from their last four league matches here. That included consecutive 2-2 draws leading into this match.

Hull will take even a single point on current form, as they have won just four points from their last 12 league matches, losing eight times. Six of those defeats have come from their last seven matches, but a 1-1 draw against Watford has given a glimmer of hope of saving their season.

The Tigers are still bottom of the table, but start this round only two points above the 20th-placed Oxford. That means, a win here combined with favourable results elsewhere could see them come out of the drop zone.
