Coventry City - Preston North End predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Preston North End are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Coventry City should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against The Lilywhites here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Sky Blues are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.53.

Both Coventry City fans and punters will have been rather delighted by their last Championship match. Their Sheffield Wednesday win was a bettor’s dream, knowing it was an odds-defying HT/FT victory.

Although Preston North End were the home team in their previous Championship match, bookmakers online predicted that they will lose to Millwall. After a rocky first half, however, they managed to equalize and end the match on a 1:1 draw.

The Sky Blues have a strong recent history in terms of scoring as hosts. They bagged 6 goals in their previous three home games.

Coventry previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Championship and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 1.85.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.50 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 888Sport.
