Coventry City - Burnley predictions

Coventry City have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Burnley. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The Clarets are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

When it comes to The Sky Blues’s previous Championship clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (3.71) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Sheffield United. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

The Clarets played their previous Championship matchup at home, going up against Bristol City in a relatively one-sided matchup. As expected, the game’s hosts eventually won 1:0 after spending most of the runtime ahead.

The last 3 times we saw Coventry City play as the away team, they had serious issues stopping the ball from getting into their net, conceding more than 5 times. Hopefully, they’ll have better luck at home.

Burnley have registered 6 goals in their three previous home games, which is impressive by any measure. Although they’ll be playing as visitors on Saturday, it’s still a very good idea to look at Over markets.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive The Clarets victory from the previous Championship season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
