Coventry vs Sunderland: Top Free Betting Tips

Coventry City has followed a winning momentum in EFL Championship recently and lined up at home against Sunderland for the next fixture on Saturday, 25 February. The Black Cats have got the back of defeat before this game against Rotherham United in the league.

Match Result Prediction: Coventry to Win

Coventry City has secured a combination of two wins, two draws and a defeat in the last five league outings. The Sky Blues are also undefeated in the previous three home outings while winning two of them. Sunderland has also been quite similar to the hosts but they are winless in the last two attempts. The Black Cats have also struggled in the recent visiting H2Hs against the Sky Blues, facing three defeats in the previous four away meetings, winning zero of them. Therefore, we set Coventry City as our favourites to take three points at the end of this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Four of the last five meetings of these teams have ended with both teams scoring at the same time. Sunderland has been a consistent side on the scoring aspect as they have not missed the target in any of the last 11 away outings. However, the Black Cats succeeded to claim only one clean sheet in the previous five visits to the league. On the contrary, Coventry City has also been on the scoring side in all of the recent six attempts at home. Given this, a BTTS pattern will be the most probable result for this fixture.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Coventry

Though Sunderland has scored in the recent consecutive visits, they have scored more than once in only one of the last four away outings in the Championship. The Black Cats have also been unable to hit the target multiple times in any of the recent five visits against Coventry City, allowing seven goals. On the other hand, the Sky Blues have rattled the net twice or more in three of the recent five home games. As the Black Cats also leaked two goals in the previous away meeting, we can expect Coventry to confirm a lead of 2-1 at the end of ninety minutes in this game.

Coventry vs Sunderland: Form, Recent Games, and News

Coventry City Preview

The Sky Blues terminated their horrific losing streak of away outings previously with a 0-2 victory over Rotherham United. Coventry City has registered a total of 12 wins and nine draws in the 32 league attempts and occupies the eleventh position in the standings. Head coach Mark Robins doesn’t have to worry about any fitness issues in the team coming into this game.

They have moved to within five points of the playoff slots and need to continue their positive run of form. All eyes will be on Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres, who is the second-highest scorer in the Championship in Bluebirds colours. The 24-year-old has scored 14 goals and helped the team's cause with a further four assists. The Dutch midfielder, Gustavo Hamer, will also look to impress as he builds on his tally of five goals and four assists.

Sunderland Preview

The Black Cats also faced Rotherham in the last game but dropped their unbeaten long unbeaten streak in Championship with a 1-2 defeat. The recent loss has costed the team to slip to the eighth position on the points table. Central midfielder Corry Evans and two other players will not be present on the field due to injury concerns.

Sunderland has a four-point advantage over Coventry but will be concerned with their away form of late. Rotherham made them pay for their dalliances and Coventry can exact a similar result against them. The attackers will have to give a better account of themselves and Ross Stewart will be missed in this encounter. Jack Clarke will be tasked to lead their lines and the attacker has impressed with 7 goals and 6 assists in Sunderland's cause.
