Prediction: 2-1
Watford
Coventry play host to Watford at their Coventry Building Society Arena on day 5 of the new Championship campaign. The Sky Blues are undefeated in the previous three league matches and a win over Watford will see them move closer to the playoffs berth. Even though all Jamie Allen, Fabio Tavares, and Callum OHare are sidelined with injuries, home win should be considered.
The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers. Watford have been struggling in front of goal of late and, taking everything into account, they are unlikely to spoil Coventry’s party at Building Society Arena. Morocco midfielder Imran Louza is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while defender Jamal Lewis continues to miss out with a thigh injury. In their last meeting in the English second tier the two teams played out a 2-2 draw.
