Coventry vs Derby Predictions

• Derby have won only twice away from home this season
• Coventry hold the 5^th best home record in the Championship this campaign
• Derby lost in round three last season to non-league Chorley

Bank on Coventry this weekend

Coventry boast the Championship’s 5^th best home record this season. It’s their strong home form that sees them sit only six points outside the play-offs with three games in hand on 6^th place Huddersfield. Having not played since the 29^th December, a refreshed Coventry team are strongly fancied to start your weekend off on the right note.

Derby set to focus on the league

Should Wayne Rooney manage to keep Derby in the championship this season it would go down as the greatest managerial feat in the history of the sport. A Covid-19 ravaged Derby side were dumped out at this stage of the competition last season by non-league Chorley. The average age of that side was just 19 and something similar may be in the offing for Saturday, as Its expected Rooney will makes changes to give the older players in his side a much needed rest. A repeat of last year’s round three exit looks to be on the cards.

Derby’s away struggles set to continue

Derby have only won twice away from Pride Park this term, whilst only managing nine goals on their travels making them the Championship’s joint third lowest away scorers. These stats make for bleak reading and further temper any enthusiasm you may have of a youthful Derby team coming away with a positive result on Saturday.
