Coventry vs Sunderland prediction and top betting tips

Coventry might be sat down in 11th place in the Championship table but they are far from out of the top six equation. Can they beat Sunderland in Saturday's early kick off to really put themselves in the mix? Find out with our Coventry vs Sunderland match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

Coventry vs Sunderland Prediction 1: Coventry to win

We kick off our predictions for this game by backing Coventry to win. Sunderland currently sit four points better off than their hosts but Coventry sit ahead of them in a five game form table and arrive into this game in high spirits having taken seven points from the last nine available to them at home. Sunderland meanwhile are winless in two and lost their last away game to relegation threatened Rotherham. On top of edging the form guide, Coventry hold a clear advantage in head to head terms. The Sky Blues have not lost a clash with Sunderland since 2007!

Coventry vs Sunderland Prediction 2: Under 2.5 goals

This game might see two promotion – or at least playoff – hopefuls doing battle but that doesn't mean we're anticipating a glut of goals. In fact, we are predicting that this game goes south of the 2.5 goal mark. Coventry have seen each of their last five matches fall under that cut off with a lowly game average of just 1.6 goals. Sunderland meanwhile have seen three of their last five league games fall under the 2.5 marker; their game average in that period sits at just 2.2 goals. The last three head to head games between these two sides have all gone under 2.5 goals as well.

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Coventry vs Sunderland

Coventry

Coventry have found a little bit of form of late after having their performances tail away for a little while. Now though, they will be keen to keep the good times rolling and that could mean an unchanged XI from your win over Rotherham – especially because they'd have enjoyed a full week off!

Predicted lineup – Wilson, McNally, Doyle, McFazdean, Eccles, Hamer, Bidwell, Palmer, Allen, Norton-Cuffy, Gyokeres

Sunderland

Coventry might have enjoyed a full week training and recovering but Sunderland haven't. They had to play in midweek and lost to Rotherham. For the Black Cats, an unchanged lineup is unlikely. We're expecting at least a couple of changes with Edouard Michut and Alex Pritchard likely candidates to be rotated out.

Predicted lineup – Patterson, O'Nien, Batth, Ballard, Cirkin, Neil, Bennette, Clarke, Diallo, Roberts, Gelhardt

*Starting lineups are usually announced one hour prior to kick off.

Player to watch

There are a few talented players likely to involved in this game but the pick of the bunch, for us, is Joe Gelhardt. The 20-year-old Leeds loanee already has a couple of Premier League goals to his name and has impressed for Sunderland in the last couple of matches bagging a goal and providing an assist despite the team failing to get a positive result. He could play a big role in this game.
