Coventry vs Leicester prediction – Betting tips & odds

Hot Tip – Leicester to win

Leicester are top of the table and have lost only three games this season and won 21 – this is five more than the next best tally of 16
The Foxes are also on an 11-game unbeaten run, including a recent 3-2 win over Millwall in the FA Cup

We have also decided to back Leicester given the fact they have netted a stunning 54 goals and let in only 18 as well. This sees them as the top-scoring side in the Championship and with the best defensive record too. In fact, the Foxes have let in 10 goals fewer than Coventry have conceded (28).

Coventry vs Leicester Lineups

Coventry

Coventry don’t have that many injuries to deal with but Liam Kelly is now available again. Ben Sheaf isn’t, however, with a head injury. Liam Kitching can also return after a three-game ban.

Predicted Lineup: Collins (GK), van Ewijk, Thomas, Binks, Bidwell, Wright, Eccles, Sheaf, Sakamoto, O'Hare, Simms

Leicester

Three players are on international duty for the next month: Patson Daka, Harry Souttar and Kelechi Iheanacho. Kasey Mcateer is close to a return but won’t do so here, while Jamie Vardy is being assessed ahead of the game, so Tom Cannon may start again. Marc Albrighton is another absentee.

Player to Watch: Tom Cannon

In the absence of Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Ihaeanacho, Tom Cannon has burst onto the Leicester scene in recent games.

The 21-year-old joined from Leicester this season and after a decent campaign on loan at Preston North End last time out, he has now bagged six goals in three games.
