With an eye on replicating their heroics of last season, Coventry will hope for a positive start to the 2025-26 Championship campaign when they play Hull on matchday one. This match between the Sky Blues and the Tigers on Saturday at Coventry Building Society Arena comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Coventry were halted in the playoffs last season after finishing fifth in the regular season. Hull, on the other hand, managed to avoid relegation by the barest of margins, finishing above Luton Town on goal difference.
Frank Lampard’s side are aiming for another season of an impressive run towards the top six. Coventry’s form in the pre-season friendlies ended with 2-2 draws against St Pauli and Betis, helping them rise above the 5-0 defeat to Monaco in their first friendly of the season.
It’s their home form that could turn their season around once again, as Coventry won seven of their final nine home matches of the last campaign.
Hull had barely escaped relegation last season and are coming into the season under a new coach. Their performances in the friendlies have been morale-boosting, as they won three and drew one.
Away form could be a challenge for the Tigers, as they finished the last campaign with just one win from the final seven league trips (W1, D3, L3).

Our Coventry City vs Hull Prediction
Coventry and Hull enter this season with contrasting hopes after last season didn’t finish on a high. The Sky Blues lost in the playoffs when Sunderland scored deep into stoppage time in the second leg and are likely to be a top-half contender once again. Hull narrowly avoided relegation last year, and the change of manager plus a thin squad could once again be an obstacle.
Goals could be in short supply here, and our Coventry City vs Hull prediction is under 2.5.
