Coventry City take on Hull City on Saturday as the 21st round of games in the EFL Championship beckons. Both teams are struggling in the bottom half of the standings.

Frank Lampard's Coventry are fresh off a 2-0 loss at West Bromwich Albion in midweek. Alex Mowatt opened the scoring for the hosts inside 11 minutes before Karlan Grant doubled their lead 16 minutes from time. Following the defeat, the Sky Blues are 16th in the points table, with 21 points from 20 games, winning five.

Meanwhile, Ruben Selles' Hull are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Watford. Chris Bedia's 82nd-minute opener for the Tigers was canceled out six minutes later by Rocco Vata as a share of the spoils ensued.

The stalemate - snapping a six-game losing run - means the Tigers remain in the relegation zone. They are dead-bottom, with 16 points from 20 games, winning only thrice, as they face a long road to stay afloat in the division.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Coventry-Hull Championship clash at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
