Stoke vs Coventry Prediction: 10/8/2024

Stoke City is one of four teams vying for the Championship title, significantly boosted by a seven-game winning streak, including a recent victory over their fierce rivals. In contrast, Coventry has struggled, losing four of their last five away matches in the Championship.

While Stoke initially played more exciting matches under their new coach, it’s notable that nine of their last ten home games have seen three or fewer goals. Similarly, eight of Coventry’s last nine away games in the Championship have also featured three or fewer goals.

It’s been rare for both teams to score in Stoke’s recent home games, with only six of their last 19 matches seeing goals from both sides. Additionally, Coventry has either failed to score or kept a clean sheet in their last four away matches, making a high-scoring game unlikely.

 

Prediction

Coventry has had a tough time on the road since their return to the Championship, earning just one point from a possible 17 and being outscored 12 to 3. On the other hand, Stoke has won 12 of their last 18 home games in the league, making them strong favorites against a struggling Coventry side.

Prediction: Stoke 2 : 0 Coventry
