Coventry vs Preston Predictions

Sky Blues can edge a tight game

Saturday’s Championship clash between Coventry and Preston at the CBS Arena is unlikely to be a goalfest as five of Coventry’s last seven Championship games ended with under 2.5 goals while Preston’s last three have gone the same way.

Coventry are eighth in the table, five points better off than Preston, who are 15th. The hosts have won 13, drawn eight and lost 12 of their games this season, while Preston have nine wins, 15 draws and nine defeats.

The visitors are tough opponents – they are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches in the Championship, coming back from a goal down to share the spoils with Millwall last time out, and have won their last three clashes with these opponents.

There have been under 2.5 goals in four of Coventry’s last five Championship home games and three of the last four times that Preston have visited in the league have ended with fewer than three goals.

Coventry have won their last two Championship matches by a goal and have enjoyed success in five of their last seven home games in the competition.

A narrow 1-0 win for Coventry appeals as the correct score, with at least one of the sides blanking in four of the last five meetings between these two.
