Coventry vs. Stoke: Preview and betting tips

Stoke have another league game on Tuesday, will ex-Stauke player Abdallah Sima finally get his chance? The Potters travel to Coventry, their table neighbours. What to expect from the game?

Coventry are one of the pleasant surprises of the competition, they are in the top half of the table and have a chance for the play-offs. Currently, they are seven points behind the Top 6 from the tenth position with three games to spare.

Stoke are a point better off, but with a game to play. Moreover, the traditional English club has lost three of its last four league games and dropped to tenth in the table. They are six points behind the top six.

Matt Godden is the home side’s top scorer, the experienced striker has scored nine goals and assisted two others. The talented Swedish international Viktor Gyökeres has nine goals and three assists.

In the Stoke jersey, the twenty-three year old Scotland international has six goals and four assists. Left-back with Albion u21 experienceJosh Tymon boasts a 1+3 record.

Coventry’s offense has stopped working, scoring more than one goal in only one of their last five Championship games.

Stoke are not ideal in terms of shooting either, on the contrary they are one of the worst. Of the teams in the first half of the table, only Middlesbrough and Blackpool have scored fewer goals than Stoke (32).

Taking into account that Stoke have won four of the last five league games at the opponent’s ground, I recommend betting on the visitors not to lose.
