Bristol City vs Coventry Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Bristol City vs Coventry City
English League
Date: Saturday, September 12, 2024
Start at 15pm UK
Location: Ashton Gate Stadium.

Coventry City were once a standard member of top-flight English football. It took eight years for them to bounce back and gain promotion to the Championship. It will be hard to predict the club's goal anytime soon, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him in the top 10 next season. The Sky Blues will start on Saturday afternoon at Ashton Gate against Bristol City.

The hosts were tipped as favorites for this match, with an odd of 2,10 to win the match. Neither team lost a single preseason game, while also scoring an insanely high number of goals. Can it be a true festival of goals in the first round of the championship?

In-person stats on H2H and past meetings

Eight of the last eleven head-to-heads have ended with both teams scoring at least once.

The average of goals scored in all matches is 3,08 per game.

Bristol City vs Coventry City betting tips

The hosts finished the previous season in the not-so-bad position of 12, but fans are looking forward to the playoff action. In terms of transfers, the club management has been making some good moves. Chris Martin was brought in from Derby County, Alfie Mawson from Fulham FC (loan) and Chris Brunt from the WBA.

The first competitive game of the season ended well for them as they beat Exeter City 2-0 in the League Cup. Previously, Bristol had beaten Cheltenham Town 4-1 and drawn with Swindon Town in friendlies.

Coventry City have been much more active in recent weeks, playing five friendlies and winning them all. The bad news is that they only kept one blank sheet.

We are confident of seeing at least three goals in this match, so more than 2,5 FT will be the top suggestion. Bristol City win and both teams score 4,50 is a good value bet.

betting tips

• Over 2,5 goals @ 2,02
