MKM Stadium | EFL Championship | Monday April 6 | 8pm
Here at BetVictor News, we have the Hull vs Coventry preview, prediction, H2H record, latest odds, betting angles and more ahead of Easter Monday’s huge EFL Championship clash at the MKM Stadium.
Hull Vs Coventry Preview
Having correctly predicted a score draw with Oxford in our Good Friday EFL Championship predictions, Hull will need to really up the ante against league leaders Coventry. The Tigers are very much in the mix for promotion but there questionable home form is a cause for concern when it comes to Championship betting.
Sergej Jakirovic’s men have lost seven times on home soil this term but admittedly, have picked up in recent weeks. Since a 3-1 loss to QPR on February 21, Hull have beaten Derby and Sheffield Wednesday but entertained a 3-1 loss to Millwall in-between those victories.
As for the Sky Blues, they have been flying in recent weeks and the title is surely theirs to lose. A hard-thought 3-2 win over Derby last time out means Frank Lampard’s side are 11 points clear of Millwall – who currently occupy second having beaten Middlesbrough last week.
The West Midlanders need just eight more points to guarantee a return to the Premier League. And having won eight of their last nine Championship fixtures, Coventry will be hugely confident of taking another step closer to the promised land on Easter Monday.
Hull Vs Coventry H2H Record
In the overall Hull vs Coventry H2H record, the Tigers have the upper hand with 21 wins compared to the Sky Blues 18. A total of 13 draws have been played out between the two clubs. However, the more recent H2H is evenly split across the last five clashes.
