Coventry vs Stoke City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Both teams have scored in four of Coventry’s last six, and in four of Stoke’s last six
• Coventry are unbeaten in their last nine games, Stoke have lost just three of their last ten in the league
• Coventry are just three points away from the playoff places

Coventry’s playoff push still on

Coventry are three points outside of the playoff places going into Saturday’s clash against an in-form Stoke side who have lost just three of their last ten games. Despite the nine points separating these two sides, this is bound to be a close game between two sides in good form. Coventry are unbeaten in their last nine games, and will be looking to continue their form to give themselves the best chance of making the playoffs.

Both teams have scored in four of Coventry’s last six games, and in four of Stoke’s last six – including 5-1 and 3-2 wins for Stoke. Both teams have scored in 53% of Stoke’s away fixtures this season, and the same looks likely to happen here as two in form sides go head to head. Both teams to score is our best bet prediction for this one.

Stoke spoil the party

Stoke’s recent results have shown they are keen to spoil the party, taking points off of automatic promotion contenders Middlesbrough, as well as playoff-hopefuls Sunderland, Blackburn and Norwich, all in their last four games, and they will be looking to do the same when they travel to Coventry on Saturday.

Coventry have drawn three of their last five, while Stoke have drawn twice in their last two games. Stoke’s away form has been strong this season, averaging more goals scored per game, and less goals conceded, than the league average, while Coventry have scored less per game than the league average when playing at home.
