Coventry to avoid defeat
Coventry have two wins, a draw and two losses in their last five games; it's worth noting that those losses came at home, Coventry have two wins and a draw in their last three road games. Stoke, on the other hand, have done slightly better recently, as they have three wins in their last five games; however, they have not done too well when they face Coventry. Stoke City and Coventry have met four times in the last five years; and Stoke did not win any of those games, with a draw and three losses. Considering both teams have nothing left to play for, we don't think Coventry will lose this match.
Going under 2.5 goals
Both teams have not scored a lot of goals this season; Stoke City averaged 1.25 goals per game, while Coventry have scored 1.3 goals per game on average. As a result, most of their games have been on the low-scoring side. Stoke City scored just three goals in their last four games, three of those games went under 1.5; in like manner, Coventry registered just one goal in their last three games. These are two low-scoring sides, that's why we don't think they'll score up to three goals in this match.

Stoke vs Coventry: Let's look at the predicted lineups
Neither of these teams will be happy with how their seasons have played out but that doesn't mean it is all doom and gloom. The pair of them have shown glimpses of quality and, with the right tweaks in the summer, will think they can make a tilt at the playoffs next year. For now though, it's about trying to sign off with a win.
Stoke Predicted Lineup
Stoke City have had a fairly decent run of form recently; they have three wins in their last five games, with two losses. Michael O'Neill's men are coming off a 3:1 loss at Middlesbrough; they'll hope to bounce back from that loss as Coventry come calling.
Predicted lineup – Bursik, Forrester, Jagielka, Harwood-Bellis, Allen, Smith, Baker, Sawyers, Tymon, Brown, Philogene-Bidace
Coventry Predicted Lineup
Things have not gone too well for Coventry lately; they have no wins in their last three games, a stretch where they scored just one goal. Mark Robin's men will take a trip to the Bet365 Stadium on Saturday for their final match of the season; they'll hope to put an end to their winless streak by defeating Stoke City.
Predicted lineup – Wilson, Rose, McFadzean, Hyam, Kane, Hamer, Allen, Bidwell, O'Hare, Waghorn, Gyökeres
