Preston vs Coventry: Top Free Betting Tips

Coventry City has confidence in the winning pattern when they make a trip to Preston North End for the next EFL Championship fixture on Tuesday, 28 February. The Lilywhites are coming into this game after finding a much-awaited league victory in the last game against Wigan Athletic.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

Preston North End have an admirable record in the H2Hs against Coventry with four victories in the last five meetings. However, the Lilywhites have not been up to par recently as they have won only one duel in the last six attempts, losing three of them. On the other hand, the Sky Blues earned consecutive three victories before this game, however, have an opposite pattern for the away outings. The Sky Blues had consecutive four away defeats before the last visit. Given these statistics, we expect the teams to share the points at the end. 

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Four of the last five H2Hs of these teams have been low-scoring affairs and we believe to see the same pattern in this game. Preston hit the target twice in the last game but they have a total of only four goals in the previous five league duels. Coventry City is even worse than that as they have rattled the net only three times in the last five away outings. The Sky Blues have also claimed two clean sheets in the last three matches in EFL Championship.

Correct Score Prediction: 1-1 Draw

Coventry City has scored twice in each of the last two attempts but they have struggled in the away outings, scoring more than once in only one of the last six visits. On the contrary, Preston North End have also succeeded to score multiple goals in only one of the previous six duels. The visiting side has held a favourable defence recently and didn’t allow more than once in any of the last six attempts. Therefore, we expect to see a scoreline of 1-1 at the end of ninety minutes.
