Coventry vs Hull Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 9th August 2025

Hull face a daunting first assignment in the Championship when they visit the title favourites Coventry on the opening day of the new campaign.

We expect to see some solid dedication from both Coventry and Hull as starting a season with a defeat is an undesirable outcome for anyone's morale.

Coventry go into their next Championship match, scoring a humble average of 1.1 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 11 times, while conceding 13. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Hull scored eight goals, conceded nine and kept their opponents from scoring one times in ten matches.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Coventry played Hull. The pair finished even in a 1-1 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Coventry vs Hull Prediction

Coventry Form

Coventry have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Middlesbrough by 2-0. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 1-2 against Sunderland, before achieving a 0-1 win against Sunderland. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Coventry but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six Championship matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring ten goals while conceding four.

Hull Form

In has been a bit of everything for Hull in their previous three matches, as they first beat Preston by 2-1. This was followed by a disappointing 0-1 defeat against Derby, before an encounter with Portsmouth produced a 1-1 draw. Hull only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Championship. In these six matches they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by five goals to four.

Hull and Coventry are almost always cautious, when going toe-to-toe with each other, which makes under 2.5 goals the value bet this coming Saturday.
