Chesterfield vs Coventry Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Two teams who’re struggling towards the foot of the table come together here in what is a massive game for both. When looking to avoid relegation, taking points off the teams in and around you in the table is an absolute must. Of the two, it is Coventry who’ve acquitted themselves best of late, the hosts come into this match unbeaten in three (all-competitions). On the other hand, Chesterfield have only avoided defeat once in their last five.

The logical way to go here is ‘Both Teams to Score’. Coventry appear to have addressed their scoring issues of late, but still appear to find clean sheets very hard to come by. Chesterfield are likely to be encouraged by Coventry’s poor defensive record of late and, on their own patch, should be capable of finding the net.

Goals haven’t been all that easy for Chesterfield to find recently, in fact, that a bit of an understatement. The hosts have failed to find the net in each of their last five matches, but they have faced a few tough opponents during that time. This match against a side who’ve defended very poorly on the road is a good opportunity to end this barren run.

Keeping clean sheets on the road hasn’t been easy for Coventry. Away from home, they’ve managed to shut their opponents out just once all season, but have certainly fared better at the other end of late, finding the net in each of their last three away outings.

We’re talking about two teams who’re desperate to climb out of the relegation-zone here. With such motivation, this should be a match where both have a real go. Regardless of who comes out on top, both are fancied to find the net at least once.
