Our prediction for this Championship match:
In-form Coventry City will look to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions when they take on Watford on Saturday afternoon. The Sky Blues have been impressive at the back of late and they will continue relying on their rock-solid defence in upcoming fixtures. Bearing any fresh injury concerns, Frank Lampard is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Blackburn Rovers in midweek.
The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Preston, but given Coventry’s fine form in late January, we predict that Tom Cleverley’s troops are going to return home empty-handed. All Baah, Ebosele, and Louza limped off with injuries against Preston and the trio will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. Duo Daniel Bachmann and Pierre Dwomoh remain on the sidelines with injuries for the visiting team, while Yasser Larouci should be recalled to the starting line-up.
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.
