Prediction: 1-1
Bournemouth
All eyes will be on Coventry Building Society Arena when Coventry City and Bournemouth face each other in the Championship derby. The Sky Blues aim to build on back-to-back wins over Fulham and Birmingham City, and a triumph over Bournemouth will see them move one step closer to securing a top-six finish. Both Josh Eccles and Matt Godden remain on the sidelines with injuries, while Jake Clarke-Salter faces race against clock to be fit for Monday’s showdown.
Todd Kane is widely expected to replace Fankaty Dabo in the starting XI. The Cherries, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures, but despite their poor run of results, Scott Parker’s troops remained in automatic promotion berth. Bournemouth aim to return to winning ways, and given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. All Jordan Zemura, Junior Stanislas, and Kieffer Moore are injured for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Simon Moore):
Simon Moore is an English goalkeeper who plays for Sheffield United in the Championship. Moore began his career at Brading Town and, after playing 49 games in the league for the club, he moved to Farnborough in 2008. However, due to the lack of first-team football, Simon Moore left the club at the end of the season, with the 191-cm-tall shoot-stopper signing a contract with Brentford.
The English goalkeeper, who was born in Sandown on May 19, 1990, made his debut for the Bees in May, 2010 against Hartlepool United, coming as a substitute for first-choice goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. After ending his loan spell with Basingstoke Town in January 2011, he moved to Cardiff City and it has to be noted that he made 17 appearances for the Welsh outfit.
In the summer of 2016 he signed a deal with Sheffield United for a fee of around £500,000 and he did remarkably well to keep 17 clean sheets in the 2016/2017 League One campaign. The Blades finished the season in top position in the standings and, no doubt, Simon Moore’s brilliant saves helped the club secure promotion to the English second tier.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
