Prediction: 2-1
Coventry
Nottingham Forest will be aiming to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Blackpool when they take on Coventry City at the City Ground on Wednesday. The Reds are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and a triumph over Coventry should see them climb to the playoffs berth. Both Max Lowe and Steve Cook remain in the treatment room, while Wales international Brennan Johnson will be the man to watch in the away side after scoring a brace at Bloomfield Road.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, aim to keep their playoffs hopes alive. Coventry City are six points behind top six, and given Forest’s brilliant winning run, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. As for the away side, both Josh Eccles and Liam Kelly remain on the sidelines, while Jake Clarke-Salter and Kyle McFadzean are major doubts.
Highlighted Player (Jack Colback):
After spending nine years at Sunderland youth academy, Jack Colback signed a loan deal with Ipswich Town on 6 August, 2009. The left-footed midfielder, who is capable of playing at left back as well, made 37 appearances for the Championship side, scoring four goals in the English second tier.
Against all odds, Colback decided to sign for Sunderland’s bitterest rivals Newcastle United on 9 June, 2014 and it has to be noted he became the first player to move directly from Sunderland to Newcastle since 1998 when Lionel Perez did the same. In 2015 Sunderland fans created a sick banner depicting Colback hanging with a noose around his neck and that caused uproar on social media.
Colback and his teammates from Newcastle dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 season, but he decided not to leave the club. Colback scored 5 goals in 64 appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He is well known for his passing skills, he rarely gives the ball away and journalist often compare him with Italy ace Andrea Pirlo.
Highlighted Team (Coventry):
Nicknamed the Sky Blues, Coventry City are an English football club that compete in the League One. Coventry City, who were founded on August 13, 1883 as Singers FC, wear sky blue kit when playing on home soil, whilst their away colour is white.
Aston Villa and Leicester City are considered the club’s main rivals, but they have rivalry with fellow West Midlands clubs Wallsall and Burton Albion as well. Coventry City have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the FA Cup in the 1986/1987 season, with the team beat Charlton Athletic in the two-legged final. They share stadium with Birmingham City, with both clubs playing their home games at St. Andrew’s Stadium.
Built in December, 1906, St. Andrew’s Stadium can hold up to 29,409 spectators. Dion Dublin is one of the most famous Coventry City players, with the legendary centre-forward scoring 61 goals in 145 appearances for the club in the league.
