Coventry v Hull

Coventry vs Hull Preview

Coventry City will need to dust themselves off for this upcoming Championship clash against Hull City on Wednesday night following their agonising loss on penalties to Manchester United in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final as the Sky Blues return to the bread and butter of the English second tier, while Hull City shared a point apiece with Watford in a 0-0 draw away from home at Vicarage Road.

Coventry City have made it difficult for themselves to nail down a place in the play-offs particularly in recent weeks as the west midlands club have slumped to three defeats out of their last four games overall in the Championship leaving Mark Robins' side sitting in eighth place and nine points adrift of sixth placed Norwich City.

Recent losses at the hands of Cardiff City, Southampton and west midlands rivals Birmingham City have far outweighed the Sky Blues' singular success during this four-game period where they registered an impressive 2-1 home win against Leeds United while the bigger picture shows Coventry City have picked up six wins from their last 14 matches overall.

Only three points separate eighth placed Coventry City and their seventh placed visitors ahead of this upcoming clash at the CBS Arena, so goals could be in short supply on Wednesday night.

Hull City extended their unbeaten run in the Championship to four games on the weekend with a point in a 0-0 draw away from home at Watford which followed a 2-2 draw at home with Middlesbrough along with important wins registered against Cardiff City and QPR as well.

The bigger picture shows Hull City have made themselves a very tough side to beat in recent months as Liam Rosenior's side have suffered just two defeats out of their last 13 matches overall in the English top flight whilst collecting five wins and being involved in no fewer than six stalemates too.

Hull City's situation looks slightly more favourable than that of their hosts Coventry City as The Tigers trail sixth placed Norwich City by a six-point margin but the visitors have three games remaining of the regular season and are still in the hunt for a possible play-off spot this season.

In addition, Hull City have been dealt just one defeat out of their last eight outings on the road which gives the visitors a decent chance of producing a result here at the CBS Arena and continue the good solid work that The Tigers have achieved under Rosenior in this Championship campaign.
