Betting on Coventry City Football Club
Coventry City is currently in ninth place in the standings, just three points away from the promotion zone to the Premier League. However, it has been stuck there because it is finding it really hard to win.
In fact, it has only won one of the last five games, but the good news is that it has also only lost one, thanks to three draws. Actually, the team is adding points, but it needs more, because the coveted promotion seems to be an uphill battle.
Coventry City has gone two games without scoring a goal. First, it was crushed by Stoke City 4-0, and in the last game, Swansea gave it a tough fight in a scoreless draw. So, the team needs to start shooting more, because now it is hardly doing it. This week, Coventry City has averaged just two shots on goal per game.
Possible Lineup (3-5-1-1): Ben Wilson; Luke McNally, Kyle McFadzean, Callum Doyle; Brooke Norton Cuffy, Ben Sheaf, Gustavo Hamer, Josh Eccles, Josh Wilson Esbrand; Jamie Allen; Viktor Gyokeres.
Betting on Watford
Watford is three points behind Coventry City and six points away from the playoffs zone. The team is aware of the significance of winning against its opponent this matchday, as it would bring it closer to its goal. However, the only setback is that it has not won in three games.
This team drew 1-1 against Wigan, and suffered two painful defeats. The first one was against Luton, where it lost 2-0, and perhaps the most severe one was against Huddersfield, which is fighting for survival and beat Watford narrowly 3-2 at its home ground.
Therefore, Watford cannot afford to drop points anymore and needs to defend better, something that has been challenging for the team in recent matches. Costly lapses in concentration have led the team to conceding many goals. With the season coming to an end soon, the margin for error is getting smaller and smaller.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Ben Hamer; Ryan Porteous, Craig Cathcart, Wesley Hoedt; Joao Ferreira, Hamza Choudhry, Imran Louza, Ken Sema; Yaser Asprilla, Ismael Koné; Joao Pedro.
