This might be a case of who wants it more. With Coventry eleven points clear at the top, they've got a comfortable cushion. Hull desperately need the points and are a value bet.

Both teams are likely to score because they both have consistent attacking output while lacking defensive stability. Coventry create a high number of chances and are dangerous going forward, while Hull tend to be more effective at home and usually find the net. At the same time, both defenses concede regularly, especially against teams with attacking quality. This balance between offensive strength and defensive vulnerability makes a BTTS outcome very likely.
