Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Ian John | in Championship Predictions
Coventry City host Sheffield Wednesday in one eyecatching Championship match on Saturday afternoon. Mark Robin’s Sky Blues surprisingly struggled over the early weeks of the season, as did their opponents. Under Danny Rohl, the Owls have found a little form of late which makes this prediction somewhat tricky to make.
Coming into their midweek fixture, Coventry had failed to win any of their last five games, drawing away to Watford and losing at home to Norwich (1-0), Tottenham (2-1 in the Carabao Cup), Swansea (2-1) and then away at Leeds, 3-0, last weekend.
Despite that poor form, the Sky Blues played superbly against Blackburn Rovers last time out. They won the game on Tuesday 3-0 and picked up three vital points which moved them to 17th in the table.
Sheffield Wednesday are two places behind their opponents today but level on points, with the Owls' goal difference being three worse than the home side. Manager Danny Rohl will know that his team has a chance to put that right with a win here.
Wednesday have lost just one of their last five games in all competitions, a 2-1 defeat away to Luton. They beat Blackpool 1-0 in the Carabao Cup and surprised everyone with a 3-2 win over West Brom at the weekend. They started that more positive run with a 1-1 draw with QPR and in their most recent fixture, held Bristol City to a 0-0 draw at Ashton Gate on Wednesday night.
These look to be two teams starting to turn their seasons around after slow starts, which makes this game all the more intriguing!

Our Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Our prediction for Coventry City vs. Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship is: Over 2.5 Goals.
This is a tricky prediction to get right as the data between the two teams is very muddled, with very few trends identifiable. However, with both returning to better form, especially in their showings in the past week or so, confidence should be better for both. That usually translates into a more open game and given Wednesday's defensive issues, and Coventry's propensity to scoring at home, backing the Over 2.5 Goals market looks the wisest option.
