Coventry vs Preston Predictions

• Both teams have netted in each of Coventry’s four matches
• Preston have seen both teams score in half of their last four away games
• Preston remain unbeaten in the league this season

Can Coventry register a first win?

It’s been a disastrous start to the season for Coventry, who have had all their previous home games postponed because of the state of the Coventry Building Society Arena.

They have therefore only had three league fixtures, and each one has seen both teams score, as did their League Cup tie against Bristol City, rearranged for Burton’s Pirelli Stadium.

The EFL have finally given the Sky Blues the go-ahead to play at home, so they will be pleased to be back in familiar surroundings, but there’s certainly pressure on Mark Robins’ side, who are without a win in eight.

Will Preston ever concede a goal?

Preston’s defensive record this season is utterly remarkable, as they are yet to concede a goal from six league matches.

The flip side of that, though, is that Ryan Lowe’s side have still only scored once in the Championship, so they have not exactly been the go-to team for high levels of drama and excitement, registering five 0-0 draws.

Both teams to score may therefore look an odd pick, but North End have netted all of their goals on the road this season, including five across two Carabao Cup ties which saw both teams net.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, as I cannot see how a Coventry side lacking match fitness will keep a clean sheet, but my correct score prediction is 1-1.
