Coventry City and Leicester City face each other at Coventry Building Society Arena in one of the standout fixtures of the Championship round. Given the attacking potential of both sides, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. Frank Lampard’s men aim to regain momentum after their FA Cup exit to Stoke and we are positive that the league leaders will go all guns blazing at the Foxes. Despite injuries to Dovin and Thomas-Asante, Coventry remain strong at home, winning 75% of their league matches and producing 1.94 expected goals on average at the CBS Arena. Their defence also tightens significantly on home soil, conceding just 0.75 goals per match compared to 1.67 away.
Leicester, meanwhile, continue to push toward promotion under Enzo Maresca, although fitness concerns hang over Jannik Vestergaard after a knock in the FA Cup win over Cheltenham. The Foxes’ numbers show both danger and vulnerability: they average a huge 3.70 total goals per match, with BTTS landing in 90% of their games. Away from home, defensive issues persist — conceding 2.0 goals per match — but their scoring remains reliable at 1.8 goals per away fixture.
As Leicester see BTTS in 90% of matches and Coventry score consistently at home, Both Teams to Score seems like the best betting option, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 9.5 corners.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 12:30.
