Fifth-placed Coventry City continue their bid to secure a place in the promotion play-offs. This Saturday sees them home to Stoke City who are 20th in the Championship and battling relegation. Can the Sky Blues get a vital home win? Here's our match prediction.
City have barely any chance of automatic promotion as they trail second place by 20 points. A top six finish is the target and they are currently just a point above seventh place. Their most recent league fixture saw them win 3-2 at Oxford United.
That was their fourth successive league victory and they have scored seven goals in their last three matches. Home form is strong with nine wins in the Championship this season, including the last two.
Stoke City are only five points above the relegation zone with 11 matches remaining. The Potters were held to a home goalless draw by Watford last weekend. They have now gone three league matches without a win.
The clean sheet against Watford would have been appreciated though. They had conceded seven goals in their previous two games. On the road, Stoke have won three games but lost ten. Just one of their last ten away league games has been won.
We tip Coventry City to win this match.

More than 80 leagues and competitions are available on this football promotion from bet365. If the team that you have backed takes a two-goal lead at any point in the game, then your bet is a winner. This counts on both single bets and on multiple placed on the full time market, though of course on a multiple it is only the game in question that is marked as a winner, all the other selections still have to win as well.
A bet placed on any enhanced price is not valid for this offer, nor any bet that is cashed out. If you have partially chased out, the remainder of the stake is paid out as a winner. If your acca selection would have been a loser but for this offer then you will not gain any acca boost winnings. So for example, your team goes 2-0 up so you are paid out as a winner but the end result is 2-2, your bet is still a winner if all the other selections win but you do not gain any acca boost.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
