Match Facts
Coventry have won just one of their last nine league games against Hull (D5 L3), with both meetings between the sides in the Championship last season ending 0-0.
Hull have lost just one of their last eight away league games against Coventry (W4 D3), going down 2-1 in December 2024.
This will be the first ever top-flight meeting between Coventry and Hull City, the 1,454th different fixture to be played in England’s top division, and 942nd in the Premier League.
Coventry had the best home record in the EFL Championship last season, collecting 55 points from their 23 games (W17 D4 L2), while only Ipswich Town (+26.0) had a better expected goals difference in home league games across the top four tiers last season than the Sky Blues (+25.7).
On MD1, only Brighton and Hove Albion (69.6% - 16/23) and Brentford (63.9% - 23/36) won a higher proportion of their aerial duels than Coventry (60.7% - 17/28), with both of Hull City’s goals against Manchester United coming from set pieces.
On MD1 against Manchester United, 44.0% of Hull City’s attacking play came down their right-hand side, while 93.1% of their xG against the Red Devils came from set pieces (0.94/1.01), the highest proportion of any side in the Premier League.
In Premier League fixtures exclusively between newly promoted sides, the home team has won six of the last eight meetings (D1 L1), having won only five of the prior 26 encounters (D6 L15).
Coventry’s Frank Lampard has never lost to Hull in eight previous managerial meetings in all competitions (W5 D3), the most he has faced any opponent without defeat, while his five wins versus the Tigers are also his joint-most against any side. Indeed, Lampard also never lost to Hull in six appearances as a player in the Premier League (W4 D2).
Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth made more line-breaking passes than any other goalkeeper on MD1 (20), while completing more long passes than any other ‘keeper on the opening weekend (18/34).
Two of the top five players for distance covered on MD1 of this season’s Premier League were for Hull City, with Matt Crooks first (12.7km) and Regan Slater fifth (12.3km), while the Tigers led all sides for high intensity pressures applied (422).
