Hull City play host to Coventry City on Friday evening with the opportunity to move level on points with Championship leaders Preston North End.
While Coventry find themselves down in 14th position in the standings, the visitors to the MKM Stadium are on a four-match undefeated streak in the second tier.
We say: Hull City 1-2 Coventry City
Despite the difference in league positions, this should prove to be a hugely competitive clash. Hull can only have grown in confidence after their victory at Leicester, but we are backing the visitors to get back on track with a win on their travels.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 2.5 goals.

Southampton and Leicester City square off in the Championship on Friday evening having both suffered surprise defeats last time out.
On the same day that the Saints were thrashed by Sunderland, the Foxes went down at home to Hull City, leaving the clubs in seventh and third place in the table respectively.
We say: Southampton 1-1 Leicester City
Given how they fared last time out, we are expecting a much tighter affair, one which may benefit the visitors more so than the hosts. Nevertheless, the Saints can only have benefitted from some time on the training pitch after the recent upheaval, leaving us to predict a hard-fought share of the spoils.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
