Our prediction for this Championship match:
St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Coventry City and Brentford, the two teams with completely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. Coventry City do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team failing to win the previous five league fixtures. The Sky Blues failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Norwich City, and they face an uphill task against Brentford as well.
The likes of Dabo, Godden, Jones, McCallum, and Thompson are all likely to miss the game with injuries. The Bees, on the other hand, are eager to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Barnsley and QPR. The capital club aim to cement their spot in top two, and given Coventry’s current form in the Championship, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the promotion-chasing side. All Baptiste, Jansson, Marcondes, and Norgaard are out of contention through injuries.
Highlighted Player (Wesley Jobello):
Wesley Jobello is a Martiniquais professional footballer who plays for Coventry City in the English Football League One. He was born in Gennevilliers, France, on the 23rd of January 1994. The 26-year-old is a Marseille youth product, having featured for both the club's first team and the b-team over 50 times.
His debut appearance came as a substitute against Sochaux in Ligue 1 match on the 20th of May 2012. Apart from Marseille, his resume includes playing for teams Clermont Foot and Gazelec Ajaccio. He signed for Coventry City on the 30th of June 2019, on a three-year contract. Jobello has played ten games for the English outfit so far, providing a goal and an assist apiece in the process. Incidentally, Coventry marks his first time playing outside France.
On the International forefront, Jobello, initially a youth International for France, represented the nation at the under-18 level before switching to play for The Martinique national football team. His International career highlight is getting selected for Martinique's 40 man squad for the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Jobello is predominantly a left midfielder but is capable of playing on the right as well.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
