Sunderland vs Coventry City Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 23/12/2023, 01:42  by Daniel Ngulu in Championship Predictions

Sunderland will play host to Coventry City in their next Championship game, as both teams look to return to winning ways. The hosts are three points off the top six, while Coventry City are 15th seven points above the relegation zone. In their last outing, Sunderland suffered a 1-0 away loss to Bristol City, ending their three-game unbeaten run. The big worry they’ll have coming into this game is in their defence. The Black Cats have managed just one clean sheet in five matches, but have also failed to score in just one of five games. Home form will also be key for Sunderland here. They have just one loss in the last four home matches and in 10 at home they’ve posted seven wins. With just three clean sheets in 10 home matches, Sunderland know they can do better with a more solid back line.

Coventry City will be looking to rise from two straight winless outings. They are however unbeaten in three games coming into this one. Having lost only one of their last seven matches, Coventry City will feel confident about this game. In three of their last four matches though, both teams managed to score. Apart from having kept a few clean sheets, Coventry will be concerned about their away form too. They have two wins only in their last 12 away matches. Seven of those 12 away matches have ended in defeats and they have just one clean sheet in those 12 matches.
