Hull City vs Coventry City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | EFL Championship 2024-25

Frank Lampard’s Coventry are not deemed favourites going into play Hull for their Championship game.

The MKM stadium based in Kingston will see Hull City welcome Coventry City this Tuesday. The match is surely not going to be an easy one for the hosts as Coventry have established a comfortable lead at the top half of the table. While Hull are in 19th place with 44 points, Coventry are placed sixth with 63 points.

Just a point behind Bristol City (62), who are placed fifth. The Tigers, however, have lost three matches out of their last five. So there has been a visible dip in for,m which has prevented them from moving even higher up on the table.

Coventry, as a result, have a good opportunity to pounce back on the Tigers as the former have proved to be susceptible in the latter stages of the Championship. However, the fact that Hull’s last five games were better than Coventry’s would be somewhat comforting for their coach, Ruben Selles.

Players to Watch

Joao Pedro (Hull City)

Joao Pedro has scored six goals for Hull City this season. It might not look that much on paper for a striker of his abilities. But for a struggling team, this is no less than a decent statistic.

The former Cagliari and Fenerbahce player has a wealth of knowledge and experience. This former Brazilian youth international acquired Italian citizenship in 2017 through marriage and has formally represented the Gli Azzurri in 2022.

Haji Wright (Coventry City)

Haji Wright is the man for Coventry this season. The American has hit the net 11 times for the Sky Blues. The tall and powerful forward joined the club in 2022 from the Turkish club Antalyaspor.

He has so far made 66 appearances for the club and produced 27 goals. His impressive form has earned praise from Coventry coach and football legend Frank Lampard himself. Lampard had openly venerated Haji being an “outstanding” player in the squad after his hattrick against Sunderland this March.
