Coventry vs Stoke: Top Free Betting Tips

After playing successive away outings, Coventry City returns to the comfort of Coventry Building Society Arena. Their next Championship duel is against Stoke City on Saturday, 1 April, a fixture promising to be exciting as both teams enter the field to continue their undefeated form.

Match Result Prediction: Coventry to Win

Stoke City are without a defeat in the last four competitive fixtures, winning two of them. However, Coventry City are even better as they have not lost in the last nine league outings, winning five of them. The home advantage at the Coventry Building Society also adds favour for the Sky Blues, as they have won three of their last five outings at the venue. The hosts have also defeated Stoke City in four of their previous six encounters with the Potters. Hence, we back Coventry City to collect three points at the end of this duel.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Coventry City has not missed the target in any of the recent nine league attempts, however, allowing goals in the last three games. On the other hand, the Potters have also scored in the last three away outings in a row. On the defensive end, Stoke City have not kept a clean sheet in the previous nine away trips in the EFL Championship. Two of the last four meetings of these teams have ended with BTTS patterns and we predict the teams to share another one in this duel.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Coventry

Coventry City seems confident on the scoring end as they enter the field after scoring four goals against Blackpool. The Sky Blues have also scored multiple goals in two of their recent five home fixtures. Stoke City have also scored a favourable total recently but will be concerned with Coventry's defensive record of only conceding three goals in their previous five games, keeping two clean sheets. Therefore, we expect the Sky Blues to register a 2-1 lead in this game before the final whistle blows.

Coventry vs Stoke: Form, Recent Games, and News

Coventry City Preview

The Sky Blues travelled to Blackpool in their last game and returned with a 1-4 victory. Coventry City has earned a total of 15 wins and 12 draws in the 38 league outings and finds themselves in the eighth position on the points table. Head coach Mark Robins will be free to report any fitness issues in the team coming into this game.

Players to Watch: Viktor Gyokeres (Coventry)

Coventry have not been a high-scoring team and their overall attacking stats are quite poor. But the team has one player that definitely stands out and is likely to get a transfer to a top club next season – Viktor Gyokeres. The Swedish striker has scored 18 goals in 38 matches in the Championship – not only does he score a lot but he also never gets injured.

Stoke City Preview

The Potters welcomed Premier League relegated side Norwich City at the Bet365 Stadium in their last outing. The match finished with a goalless draw and will want an improvement on that result. Having a total of 13 wins and nine draws in the 38 league attempts, Stoke City are currently sitting in the thirteenth position in the standings. There is no fitness or suspension issue for the Potters before this duel.

Players to Watch: Baker Lewis (Stoke)

Stoke are another low-scoring team that typically has a difficult time scoring goals. Against a top tier defense like Coventry's, we expect a serious battle on the pitch and in the midfield. And this is where Lewis Baker playes – one of Stoke's top scorers and also one of their most-booked players.
