Coventry City vs Morecambe Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

We are backing Coventry to be leading at half time when they host Morecambe in the FA Cup first round replay on Tuesday and this is available at evens with bet365. For our correct score tip we think they will then go on to do enough and claim the victory so are backing a 2-1 home win at 7/1 with the same site.

Coventry go into this match in pretty decent form and they were only narrowly defeated by League One leaders Scunthorpe in their last outing. The Sky Blues are used to starting well and they have opened the scoring in 53% of their matches so far this season. They have also held it pretty firm at the back and in the league this season they have conceded just four times in the first half.

Morecambe go into the match knowing that they will have to improve their first half performance if they are to get into the second round. They have gone into half time behind in 62% of their matches this season and they have conceded 17 goals in the first half of their league games this campaign.

Despite a slow start to the season Coventry have been in much better form in recent weeks. Their form is built largely on the back of a strong defense so with Morecambe having almost the opposite philosophy it will be interesting to see who can implement their game plan.
