Coventry City vs Bournemouth Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Coventry City vs AFC Bournemouth
English League
Date: Friday, October 2, 2024
Starts at 19pm, UK
Location: St Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium, Birmingham.

This Friday opens the fourth round of the English Championship, in Birmingham. Coventry City are the only official hosts (the stadium is currently under construction) of AFC Bournemouth.

Both teams are off to a solid start to the new football season given overall ambitions.

Cherries are just two points off the top, while Coventry are in the middle with four points from three games.

The Sky Blues were involved in a high-scoring affair at this stadium two weeks ago, beating QPR 3-2 in an amazing match.

We also hope to witness something similar this time around.

Coventry City v Bournemouth head to head

These two teams have met only twice in the past, in the 2012/2013 season to be precise, when both were members of League One.

Coventry City won both games without conceding a goal 2-0 and 1-0.

However, this information is unlikely to be relevant for Friday's game, as much has changed on both sides.

Coventry City vs Bournemouth betting tips

Despite Coventry's victory over QPR and a goalless draw against Barnsley last week, they are still considered big losers in this £3,50 fixture.

Which surprises us considering the fact that this team is undefeated at home in 15 games played in all competitions.

Even the only loss of the season to Bristol City was 1-2. Striker Matt Godden, 29, opened the season brightly, scoring twice and providing an assist.

AFC Bournemouth definitely have the quality to challenge for promotion this season. They beat Norwich City, another serious opponent, last week at home 1-0.

The best-known names are Asmir Begovic and Dominic Solanke, as well as many rising stars.

Cherries are still unbeaten, but Coventry is not to be underestimated at home. We believe that a draw is the best option for the FT market, along with both teams to score as a secondary point.
