Today's Betting Tips for Coventry vs Wrexham

Wrexham put their lengthy 17-match unbeaten run on the line when they travel to take on Coventry in the FA Cup third round on Saturday. Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Wrexham Double Chance

Wrexham have been living the dream this season and the Hollywood-backed Red Dragons have gone 17 games without tasting defeat across a series of domestic competitions. On Saturday, they will hope to put their giant-slaying powers to good use when they travel to take on a Coventry side who will surely fear the worst against Phil Parkinson’s rampant outfit. City have won just once in their last six attempts and a stake on red-hot Wrexham in the generously-priced double chance market seems too good to pass up.

Over 2.5 Goals

Phil Parkinson’s Wrexham only have one gear and the National League title chasers will push forward for more goals and glory on Saturday. Four of their last six fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals and more mayhem could be in the works when the adventurous Welshmen gallop over the border this weekend. Excitement should be on the menu at The Coventry Building Society Arena, and another bet on over 2.5 goals is advised at the prices on offer.
