Stoke City - Coventry City predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Stoke City will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Coventry City.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Stoke City on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Stoke locked down 3 points in the previous round’s home game against Queens Park Rangers. They seemingly had the upper hand from the get-go, quickly turning a home-field advantage and early lead into a narrow 1:0 victory.

Coventry City drove their previous away game to a stalemate – a tie that stayed in place for the majority of the game’s runtime. Pre-match Championship betting odds gave them a 2.02 shot to win, though, so they certainly had a shot at winning more than a single point.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, The Potters’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The Sky Blues have scored 7 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Championship. Coventry were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.57 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

With no injuries reported on either side of the pitch, both coaches have their full rosters at their disposal. As such, the odds remain firmly in the visitors’ favour.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.87 odds offered at Pncl.
