Coventry vs Hull City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Coventry have kept clean sheets in four of their last five league games
• Under 2.5 goals has been a winner in four of Coventry’s last six, and five of Hull’s last six
• Hull have failed to score in 47% of their away games this season, and three of their last five

Coventry continue their playoff push

Coventry City have been in fantastic form lately, and are currently unbeaten in their last six league games. They will be hopeful of reaching the playoffs, with just three points separating them and sixth-placed Norwich, approaching the key stage of the season.

A large part of Coventry’s recent form has been their excellent defensive record as of late. The Sky Blues have kept clean sheets in four of their last five league games, and in 50% of their home league games, giving them an excellent platform on which to earn results. Their opponents Hull City head into Saturday’s game having failed to score in 47% of their away games this season, and in three of their last five.

As a result of this, a prediction of Coventry to win and under 2.5 goals appeals, as under 2.5 goals has been a winner in four of Coventry’s last six, and five of their opponents last six, while Coventry will look to keep up their good form with another win.

Hull cruising to the finish

Hull City have had a comfortable season – they sit a whole thirteen points above the relegation zone, so they can afford not to worry about getting dragged into a scrap down the bottom of the league, while the ten points between them and the playoffs mean they can all but rule out a surprise promotion push.

The Tigers’ recent form has been inconsistent, having won just one of their last five, but losing just two in their last seven, and they earned an impressive 2-0 victory against another promotion hopeful in West Brom. Coventry, though, go into this game on better form and will look to keep the pace in their playoff bid. As a result, a score prediction of a comfortable 2-0 win for the hosts looks good here.
