Hull to score under 0.5 goals

Despite scoring from two set-pieces last week, our experts are expecting Hull to struggle in front of goal at the CBS Arena, with Sergej Jakirovic's side drawing a blank this weekend. The Tigers failed to score home or away against Coventry in the Championship last season, with both games ending 0-0, and as both of their goalscoring centre-backs from last week are expected to miss this one through injury, they've also lost some real aerial presence - so we're tipping under 0.5 goals for the visitors.

Brandon Thomas-Asante 1+ shots on target

At the other end, Coventry should be ready to attack Hull with everything they've got, as they approach what could already be described as a relegation six-pointer - and we're backing Brandon Thomas-Asante to have a shot on target. The 27-year-old struggled to get into the game against Arsenal, but with 13 goals last term - and an average of well over a shot on target per 90 - he's more than capable of hurting opposition defences, so he's our pick to test Konstantinos Tzolakis in the Hull goal.

Matt Crooks to be shown a card

After picking up a yellow card in his Premier League debut last weekend - adding to his 13 in the Championship last season - Hull's Matt Crooks is our experts' pick to be shown a card at the CBS Arena as he looks to impose himself on the hosts. The midfielder committed more than two fouls per 90 last term, and with the 32-year-old bringing the bite to the Hull City engine room, we're anticipating another all-action display - catching the referee's eye for the wrong reasons.

Coventry to win

Getting their trip to the Emirates out of the way early certainly wasn't a bad thing for Coventry, and with Frank Lampard's Sky Blues now in with a realistic chance of points, we think they'll click into gear on Saturday. The 2025/26 Championship winners accumulated 22 more points than Hull last season, and have the squad depth to hurt the visitors here, with the likes of Gustavo Hamer and Jack Rudoni not even making our predicted starting XI. It should be an excellent game, and we're backing the hosts to come out on top.
