Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have the same points in the league, but the hosts have performed better with their recent results. Despite losing their last game against Leeds, Coventry remain a team to beat. They have won four of their last five games. On the other hand, the visitors are struggling on the road. They are winless in six of their last eight games on the road. So no doubt, my money is on the hosts to win this clash, but the visitors will score a consolation goal.

Our prediction for the match is to see more than two goals for odds of 1.80 at Betway.

Our second prediction is for both teams to score (BTTS) for odds of 1.80 at Bet365.

Our third prediction is for Coventry to win for odds of 1.85 at 1xbet.
