First Prediction For Coventry City vs Plymouth Argyle – Over 2.5 Goals – 47/100
We’re in the early stages of a new era at Coventry City, with Frank Lampard replacing Mark Robins at the helm last month. The former England international heads into this game having been beaten 4-1 by Portsmouth last time out but will take solace from their 2-1 victory over Hull City in their last home game.
The Sky Blues will be expecting three points against a team that are yet to win on the road and this is a fixture that promises goals. Both Coventry and Plymouth have seen seven of their last 10 league games achieve three goals or more and the two teams have conceded 79 goals between them this season.
Second Prediction For Coventry City vs Plymouth Argyle – Both Teams To Score – 39/50
This game will see two of the division’s worst defences pit off against each other. This should make for an open game and one where both teams will be confident of finding the back of the net.
Plymouth led three times in their last outing before drawing 3-3 with Middlesbrough and will be hoping to take that form to the West Midlands. Coventry conceded four against Portsmouth and have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10.
Third Prediction For Coventry City vs Plymouth Argyle – Plymouth Argyle +2 Handicap – 21/25
Despite there being just six points between the two teams, Coventry are heavy favoruites to pick up the three points. This is mainly down to Plymouth’s away form, which has been dreadful Wayne Rooney’s team have picked up just two points on the road, with the last of those coming at Derby County in early November. However, Coventry have won just one of their last five home games and haven’t won in front of their own supporters by more than one goal since a 3-0 win over Blackburn Rovers on October 1st.
This tip effectively gives Plymouth a two-goal head start. Taking the Sky Blues’ recent form into account and the improved performances in the Pilgrims’ last two games, this is worth a punt.

Full Preview of the Game: Last Results and Head-To-Head
Coventry are still finding their feet under Frank Lampard. The began the month with an impressive 1-0 win over Millwall at The Den before losing 2-0 against West Bromwich Albion. They then recorded a 2-1 win over Hull City at the CBS Arena but then fell apart to lose 4-1 at Portsmouth on Saturday. As such, it’s impossible to predict which Coventry will show up here.
Plymouth are winless in their last seven and moved to the foot of the table following their 3-3 draw against Middlesbrough at the weekend. It was a game in which they led three times and Wayne Rooney can definitely take little shoots of positivity from the performance. That said, the Pilgrims home form has been decent so all eyes will be on how they perform here. Their last game on the road saw a 2-0 defeat against leaders Sheffield United but it was a much-improved showing, and they will be quietly confident they can get something out of the game here.
Coventry did win this fixture last season by a solitary goal in November 2023 before an entertaining 2-2 draw at Home Park in February. Plymouth’s last victory against the Sky Blues came in 2019 but they haven’t won at the CBS Arena since 2008.
