Coventry City vs Hull City: Prediction and odds on the Match on 09 August 2025
The EFL Championship will kick off this weekend, with Coventry locking horns against Hull City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday. After a successful season which almost earned them a Premier League promotion, the Sky Blues will try again this campaign to achieve even more.
Meanwhile, the Tigers will strive to do better this time, following their disastrous season, which almost cost them the Sky Bet Championship spot.

Frank Lampard’s men also failed in their attempt to play in the English Premier League after the loss against Sunderland in the playoff.

The Tigers will strive to start strong this season after failing to win their first five straight games at the start of the previous campaign.

Coventry City vs Hull City FC match prediction 09 August 2025
Coventry City have not really made any notable progress in terms of signings this campaign, which simply means they’ll pretty much line up the way they were last season. Frank Lampard's men have managed just a win in their previous five preseason games, and it’s a massive concern for them this campaign.
Meanwhile, the acquisition of a new coach has triggered new beliefs in the camp of Hull City, and they’ll be keen to get off to a flying start. The Tigers have managed three wins while settling for a stalemate in their previous four preseason matches.
The EFL Championship is one of the most physical leagues in the world, and I think both teams are well-positioned to start strong.
Coventry City were one of the best home teams last campaign, and they’ll strive to maintain such a run. It’s a dicey encounter since the season just began, and I’d rather focus on goals in this highly competitive matchup. Hull City have lost just once in their last six visits to Coventry City, and they might pull a shocking stunt here.
My match prediction is a BTTS with a coefficient of 1.86 on the 1xbet bookmaker.
My betting tip for this game is for Hull City to win either half for a coefficient of 2.55 on the Betway bookmaker.
My final prediction is BTTS and over 2.5 goals for a coefficient of 2.75 on the Bet365 bookmaker.
Good luck!
