Our prediction for this Championship match:
Coventry City will be looking to recover from a 2-0 loss to WBA when they take on Hull City in the Championship round 21. The Sky Blues have been having their ups and downs of late, sharing the spoils with Cardiff, beating Millwall, while losing to WBA, but they are still seen as favourites to beat the Tigers in front of home fans. All Borges Rodrigues, Wilson, and Wright are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Tigers, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, losing six of their last seven league matches. As Coventry have been scoring goals for fun at home in the first half of the season, we predict that the visitors are going to return to East Riding of Yorkshire empty-handed. The likes of Mohamed Belloumi, Dogukan Sinik, Carl Rushworth, Liam Millar, Thimothee Lo-Tutala, Andy Smith, and Harvey Cartwright are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Coventry):
Nicknamed the Sky Blues, Coventry City are an English football club that compete in the League One. Coventry City, who were founded on August 13, 1883 as Singers FC, wear sky blue kit when playing on home soil, whilst their away colour is white.
Aston Villa and Leicester City are considered the club’s main rivals, but they have rivalry with fellow West Midlands clubs Wallsall and Burton Albion as well. Coventry City have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the FA Cup in the 1986/1987 season, with the team beat Charlton Athletic in the two-legged final. They share stadium with Birmingham City, with both clubs playing their home games at St. Andrew’s Stadium.
Built in December, 1906, St. Andrew’s Stadium can hold up to 29,409 spectators. Dion Dublin is one of the most famous Coventry City players, with the legendary centre-forward scoring 61 goals in 145 appearances for the club in the league.
