Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Ian John in FA Cup Predictions
A couple of teams from the Championship clash in an intriguing FA Cup Third-round tie this weekend. Coventry City host Sheffield Wednesday in a match between two free-scoring teams. Will it be the Sky Blues or the Owls that we back with our prediction for this game, or another market entirely?
Neither side has played an FA Cup game yet this season, but in the league, Coventry is in 16th place with 29 points. The Sky Blues are six places behind Sheffield Wednesday with the Owls in 10th position with 37 points. Both have played 26 games in the league.
What is clearly apparent here, more so than any result, is that goals at both ends are likely. Coventry have scored 34 league goals, Sheffield Wednesday 38. However, the home side has let in 37 and the Owls 40. Both amongst the worst records in the division.
Coventry are without a win in three heading into the game. A 0-0 home draw with Millwall was followed by a 1-1 draw away to Cardiff and most recently a 2-1 defeat on the road to Norwich City.
Wednesday’s form is slightly better with the Owls putting a 3-1 away defeat to Preston behind them by thumping Derby County 4-2 at home. Their most recent game was a 2-2 home draw with Millwall this past weekend.

Our Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Our prediction for the Coventry City vs. Sheffield Wednesday FA Cup Third Round match is: Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 Goals.
Coventry's decent home form of late, combined with Sheffield Wednesday's much-improved form in the last few months, makes this all-Championship FA Cup tie a tricky one to predict a result for. The data is not convincing for any results-based bet, but looking at both teams' scoring and conceding records strongly suggests a game that will see both find the net and the likelihood of plenty of goalmouth action.
