Coventry vs Sheffield United Predictions

• All three of Coventry City’s home league games have produced fewer than three goals.
• Five of Sheffield United’s seven away league matches have witnessed under 2.5 goals.
• Just nine of Sheffield United’s 24 goals have come on the road.

Hosts to try and keep things tight

Viktor Gyökeres was able to give Coventry City a first-half lead away at Cardiff City last time out and it was enough to claim three points. That result meant that the Sky Blues have now kept four clean sheets across their last five matches and it’s likely the basement side will try to keep things tight once again when they welcome promotion-chasing Sheffield United. All three of their home games have ended with a 1-0 scoreline so far this term and picking up points is vital if they want to push up the table.

The Blades were involved in an exciting 3-3 draw at home to Blackpool last time out. It put a bump in the road towards their promotion charge and they’ll be disappointed as the last ten minutes saw them playing against nine men and they also missed a penalty. The side from the Steel City have failed to win any of their last four and they will be desperate to get the winning feeling back.

Goals to come at a premium

A loss for either of these two sides would be a big blow and could affect confidence. It’s likely to be a tight encounter and one goal could easily be the decider. We don’t think there will be an influx of goals and will side with under 2.5 goals being produced.
