Sunderland - Coventry City predictions

Sunderland should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Coventry City can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Coventry City who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The hosts can feel pretty satisfied with their previous match. Sunderland had a difficult trip to survive in the Championship and they did it by holding on both at the halftime mark and following the final whistle for an HT/FT Preston North End draw.

It’s back to the drawing board for Coventry who will be fairly disappointed after losing the previous Championship match. A 1:2 loss is not what their fans expected, especially since Coventry City were firm favourites to win at 1.78.

Sunderland’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 6 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Coventry City’s defensive line has been a source of frustration for their fans in recent outings. Their previous 3 home games were marked by 6 conceded goals, and betting predictions are suggesting Over markets.

Before committing to any betting predictions, we’ll have to mention the harsh defeat Sunderland suffered last season. Coventry walked away with an impressive victory on that occasion which directly defies the $ODDS home win odds offered by top online bookmakers.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Saturday. Daniel Ballard, Ajibola-Joshua Alese, Salis Abdul Samed, Ahmed Abdullahi will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 2.10, but the betting value makes it interesting.
