Coventry vs Plymouth prediction: ENGLAND: Championship betting tips on match 2023-11-27 19:45.
Although they recorded only one win in their last seven home games (D5, L1), and failed to score in their last two matches at the CBS Arena, Coventry City will arrive on Tuesday evening with a spring in their step after an impressive 3-0 away win at Millwall this weekend that ended a run of six matches (D2, L4) without a victory.
The welcome three points in south London also saw Mark Robins’ side keep a clean sheet for a second consecutive league outing – the first time they have done so all season. But they now need to bring Saturday’s goal scoring prowess to their home matches, where they have found the net only three times in their last five games. Without doubt, this has been a major contributor to their disappointing campaign, which so far sees last season’s play-offs participants only two places above the relegation zone.
Level on points with the Sky Blues, but with a marginally superior goal difference, Plymouth Argyle travel to the Midlands still looking for their first away victory (D3, L5) of the season. In fact, after spending more than a decade in the lower leagues, one has to go back to April 2010 to find the last time they picked up three points on the road in the second tier!
To their credit, the Pilgrims were competitive in each of their last two away fixtures, losing to third-placed Leeds and second-placed Ipswich by only a one goal margin. In spite of scoring only seven times in eight Championship away trips, they have failed to find the back of the net in just two of those eight. Steven Schumacher’s team comes into this game following a confidence-boosting 2-0 victory at home to play-off chasing Sunderland on Saturday, whilst they also came out on top when they last faced Coventry, four years ago.
Players to watch: Matthew Godden ended his nine-game goalless streak with the opener against Millwall and he is still Coventry’s leading marksman with seven strikes this campaign. Only three players have scored more in the Championship this season than Argyle’s Morgan Whittaker, who got his eighth goal of the campaign on Saturday and has scored in four of the last five games.
Hot stat: Plymouth conceded prior to half-time in six of their eight Championship away games this season.
