Swansea vs Coventry Prediction

Swansea Form

Consistency has not been a trademark for Swansea recently, and their last three matches first saw them sharing the points in a 1-1 draw with Birmingham. This was followed by a 3-0 win against Northampton, before they lost 3-2 against West Bromwich. Swansea won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Championship, where they also drew twice and went undefeated. They scored 12 goals and conceded five times.

Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Swansea expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in an international competition.

Coventry Form

Coventry collected one win from their last three matches, as Leicester won by 2-1. AFC Wimbledon were too strong as well, winning 2-1, before Coventry won 3-0 against Middlesbrough. Coventry, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn three and lost one in their last six away in the Championship.

Qualification for an international tournament is the ideal scenario Swansea hope to accomplish by the end of the season, but everything needs to click for this to happen.

Having considered the match from different angles, be it form, strength in squad and match history, Swansea get our vote here. They should have enough to see them through a most likely tricky opponent in Coventry.

Sidelined with an injury, Swansea can't field Liam Walsh this coming Saturday against Coventry.

Coventry are juggling with three absent players on on Saturday when travelling to Swansea.
