Currently, Mark Robins’ team is nine points shy of the playoff zone, with just four matches remaining. Their path to the top six requires victories in all remaining games and some missteps from either West Brom in fifth place or Norwich in sixth.
Hull, sitting three points nearer to the playoff positions and having played an extra game, are eager to rebound from their recent 0-0 draw at Watford.
Injury troubles have hit Coventry with winger Fabio Tavares suffering an ankle injury during the FA Cup semi-final and exiting during extra time. Additionally, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (back) and Jamie Allen (broken cheekbone) are unavailable, leading Robins to consider lineup changes following the physically taxing match at Wembley.
On Hull’s side, they will likely be without Anass Zaroury, on loan from Burnley, who is out with a groin injury. Meanwhile, Manchester City loanee Liam Delap has been impactful off the bench in recent games and is vying for a starting role.
Coventry has struggled lately, with only one win in their last five games and no clean sheets in their last eight outings. Their previous 12 matches have all seen a minimum of three goals scored.
Hull has a stronger record on the road, losing just one of their last eight away matches, and five of their last seven away games have seen both teams score.
