Hull vs Coventry preview
Coventry are closing in on the Championship title and can take another big step towards glory and a return to the Premier League with victory at Hull on Easter Monday.
The Sky Blues are 11 points clear of nearest rivals Millwall after Friday’s edgy 3-2 win over Derby, and it looks only a matter of time before Frank Lampard’s side clinch promotion and probably first place in the second tier with it.
Victory over the Rams was their eighth league win in their last nine outings and even though the fifth-placed Tigers have promotion aims of their own, the visitors should be too strong at the MKM Stadium.
Coventry remain perfectly in rhythm at the ideal time of the campaign and the confident Sky Blues, who have won their last four away games while conceding just one goal, can maintain their title push.
Hull are five points off second-place Millwall going into the Easter Monday fixtures and do look good enough to claim a playoff place at least this season.
However, they are 16 points worse off then Lampard’s side and lost to the Lions, West Brom and Ipswich last month, while Friday’s 1-1 draw at Oxford was another disappointing result.
