Prediction: 1-1
Sunderland
Coventry will be aiming to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on Sunderland in the Championship round 4. The Sky Blues have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season, with the team losing to Leicester, beating Middlesbrough, while sharing the spoils with Swansea. In their last meeting at the venue Coventry defeated Sunderland 2-1, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Jamie Allen, Fabio Tavares, and Callum OHare should be the only absentees in the home team.
The Black Cats, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Rotherham. Sunderland are eyeing their first away win of the process, but beating Coventry on the road is easier said than done and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. All Jay Matete, Aji Alese, Elliot Embleton, Jenson Seelt, Corry Evans, and Ross Stewart should miss out with injuries, speaking of the visiting side.
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.
