Stoke vs Coventry Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 10th August 2024

Coventry go up against Stoke this coming Saturday for a Championship meeting at Bet365 Stadium.

We are bound to see an exciting game on Saturday as both Stoke and Coventry are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

When it comes to goal-scoring Stoke could be more prolific, scoring 16 times in their previous ten games. That is an average of 1.6 goals per game in which, they conceded 11 times. This is an average of 1.1 a game, achieving a clean sheet in four games.

Coventry scored 13 goals, conceded 17 and managed one clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Coventry came away as 0-1 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome this coming Saturday.

Stoke vs Coventry Prediction

Stoke Form

In their last three outings, Stoke won 3-0 against Plymouth, beat Southampton by 0-1 and hammered Bristol City 4-0. Stoke won three of their previous six matches at Bet365 Stadium in the Championship. They drew two and suffered one defeats, scoring 12 goals to six against.

While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Coventry, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.

Coventry Form

A draw is all that prevents Coventry from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They claimed this single draw against Blackburn as the match ended 0-0 before getting trounced against Ipswich by a 1-2 score. Last time out, more disappointment followed as Queens Park Rangers won the game and the exact score was 1-2. Coventry won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Championship. The scoreline from these matches says nine goals conceded and seven scored.

Coventry go into a new season as candidates for the podium, but will count themselves lucky to achieve more than a third place.

While we don't believe in the away win, we don't quite trust Stoke to grab a win. We prefer a cautious bet on the visitors, either the double-chance or the draw-no-bet solution against Coventry.
