Coventry vs. Huddersfield: preview and betting tips

A poor Monday’s football schedule will offer an English Championship match between Coventry City and Huddersfield Town. What to expect from the match between two teams that have been struggling so far and what to bet on?

Coventry have been struggling since dropping out of the Championship play-offs, winning only one round and are only 19th in the table. Some mainstays have left the club, resulting in a first round exit in the EFL Cup.

Huddersfield have picked themselves up after a poor start to the season, taking seven points from the last three rounds, triumphing at West Bromwich for example. They are 17th in the table and have a three-point cushion on the relegation zone.

Key Coventry figures

The departure of mainstay Victor Gyokeres was solved by the visitors with goalscorer Matt Godden, the English striker is on six goals.

He is to be partnered by summer signing from Turkey Haji Wright, the American is on one goal and two assists.

Huddersfield’s key figures

Jack Rudoni is thriving in the centre of the visitors’ midfield, with two league goals already to his name. Josh Koroma has been fairly successful after a loan spell at Portsmouth, striking and assisting once from the wing.

Betting tip

Coventry are not doing well defensively, keeping a clean sheet in only one of their last five games. In addition, they have averaged 1.6 goals per game in those matches, despite fighting for promotion to the play-off final last year.

This plays into the hands of Huddersfield, who are on the other hand, going on the offensive. The past three games have seen two accurate shots each time. In addition, the visitors have scored in all three of this season’s away games in League Two.

Considering Huddersfield’s improved offensive performance, on the other hand, Coventry’s struggling defensive performance, and the fact that the loss of cannonballer Gyokeres is noticeable, it can be predicted that the visitors will not lose.
