Derby County - Coventry City betting tips and odds

Derby County will have to fight an uphill battle to win this match. They are the underdogs of the matchup – though Coventry City don’t have a huge advantage. Still, with the 3.05 odds on a home win, things may get a bit dicey.

While The Sky Blues may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 2.65 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Considering the 5.80 betting odds on an away win against Blackburn Rovers in the last round, The Rams’s lead in the first half was quite surprising. The 3:1 at the end was not, though. Still, it’s hard to judge their form based on such an unbalanced matchup.

Fans of Coventry are hoping for a better performance than what we last saw from them in the previous round. Their opponents Hull City grabbed an early lead and never gave an inch, resulting in a sound 0:2 defeat.

Derby County gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Coventry City may be the favourites in this matchup, but they failed to press that advantage when they met Derby County earlier in the season. This earlier bout ended in a draw, so the away team will be looking to redeem themselves.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Unibet priced at 1.68 odds.
