Home comforts for Coventry

Coventry performed admirably last weekend to rescue a point from Blackburn but still their away day form is rather turgid as they lost in the week away at Preston. Unfortunately for Derby, this game sees Coventry host and they're a machine at home. They've played six home league games this season and have won all of them. Derby meanwhile aren't rolling over for teams but three draws on the bounce tells you that they're struggling to win games; we don't think they'll even get a point here.

A win and clean sheet

Not only have we made the prediction that Coventry win but we're now doing so whist saying Derby will not score. Why is that? Well, for one thing, Coventry have won three of their last five home games to nil. The other factor we've looked at is how potent the Derby attack is and three goals scored across five games with three matches seeing you blank goes some way to explaining where they're at right now. Obviously, it only takes some magic or a howler to score a goal but there is serious value in this bet knowing the data we can see.

Derby to blank

Given our previous prediction, which was Coventry to win to nil, it's perhaps not a surprise for us to also be making a tip that Derby fail to score. We've chewed over their attacking problems and nine goals scored in 13 league games to date tells it's own story. It will be even tougher for them to score at Coventry; they're conceding at a rate of 0.5 goals per game on their own patch at present.

Coventry vs Derby: Coventry to continue perfect home form

Coventry have genuine promotion aspirations this season and they'll be glad to get back on their own patch because they're much better at home than they are away. Derby's best chance of a result will be keeping it tight at the back but with Viktor Gyokeres up top for the Sky Blues that will be easier said than done. Derby's ambitions for the campaign are not remotely based on a play off finish; they're just looking to go down swinging. At the moment, they're doing exactly that. Tom Lawrence grabbed just his second goal of the season – and his first assist – in the week. He'll be hoping to bring some of that magic with him for this game.
