Coventry City vs Preston North End – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Can Coventry drag themselves off the foot of the table with a win against Preston in the Championship on Wednesday? Read our top predictions for this week’s fixture below.

Preston Double Chance

Coventry’s current state as the division’s bottom club might be a false position given they’ve only played three fixtures so far, though the Sky Blues could still struggle to beat Preston on Wednesday. North End have yet to taste defeat this term and they’ve been a tough nut to crack under Ryan Lowe. However, it is worth noting that five of their first six matches have finished all squad and bettors should consider a stake on Preston in the double chance market with that record in mind.

Under 2.5 Goals

Remarkably, all five of Preston’s five draws in the Championship this term have finished 0-0 and their supporters have had little action to enjoy in the opening weeks of the new campaign. With a focus on solid defending over expansive attacking, Preston’s games have been a chore at times and under 2.5 goals has landed in each of their last six matches in the second tier overall. More of the same is expected at Coventry on Wednesday evening and bettors are advised to stick to the same market.
