Coventry City – Sheffield Utd

The match will end with the Championship leader winning at home.

The match involving Coventry City opened the last round of the English Championship and produced a sensational result. The newcomers to the division, Wrexham, who have been promoted year after year, demonstrated that even in the second tier of English football, they will not be disregarded by the established authorities. Coventry City lost their first match of the season in the league, but this outcome could bring more benefit to Lampard's side than harm. Firstly, even with the loss, the 'Sky Blues' did not lose their position at the top of the league table. Secondly, someone should bring the Coventry City players back down to earth and clearly explain that just over a quarter of the league schedule has passed and it is still far too early to see themselves as participants in the next Premier League campaign. Sheffield United, after changing their head coach during the off-season, began to lose match after match. The 'Blades' management decided to return to their previous development strategy after a sixth consecutive defeat and resumed relations with Chris Wilder, who had been sacked in May. Finally, the team started to demonstrate good football, but recent matches have shown that they are still a long way from a complete 'recovery' at United. The bookmakers have made the home side the favourites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.61 for their victory. The defeat to Wrexham ended Coventry City’s streak of six wins. Considering that even in the lost match, the 'Sky Blues' scored two goals (2-3), their attacking capabilities and game organization are in good shape. Let's remember that Lampard's team has an average scoring rate of almost three goals per match this season. A relaxed and easy-going attacking opponent is the worst thing that could happen right now for Sheffield United. Under Wilder's new/old management, they lost five matches and won three. All winning outcomes were recorded in those matches where opponents allowed the 'Blades' to play on the front foot. The match between the teams in Coventry last season ended in a 2-2 draw, but at that time the difference between the clubs was diametrically opposed. Now Coventry City is stronger, so let's place a bet on their victory.
