Prediction: 1-1
Nottingham Forest
Sunday’s football game between Coventry City and Nottingham Forest will bring down the curtain on the Championship Matchday 1. The Sky Blues did well to secure the Championship survival last term, and they are on the same quest in the new campaign. It has to be noted that the club chiefs signed permanent deals with the likes of Simon Moore, Martyn Waghorn, and Bright Enobakhare earlier this summer.
The Reds, on the other hand, finished the last season in 17th place in the standings, nine points clear of the relegation zone. Forest aim to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign, but beating Coventry City on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to watch in the away team will be experienced attacker Lewis Grabban, who scored six goals last season.on.
