Derby County - Coventry City predictions

Derby County have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.04 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

Coventry City will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. The Rams are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

The hosts will be keen to forget their previous Championship game. The Rams thought they were onto something after a tied first half but it all came for nothing after the break. Ultimately, a Stoke City drubbing is nothing to show off with.

The Sky Blues haven’t exactly been playing top of their game lately. Last round’s home draw 0:0 against Hull City was far from a disaster, but most of us – including the world’s best online bookmakers – expected a lot more considering they played at home.

Though the odds are leaning in the visitors’ favour, they didn’t perform well against Derby last season. They lost their previous clash – the game wasn’t even close. Hopefully, they’ll be able to justify the bookies’ confidence this time around.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

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 888Sport priced at 1.60 odds.
