First Prediction For Portsmouth vs Coventry City – Coventry To Win – 4/5
Portsmouth have only won twice at home in the Championship from their first five games, and this could be another long day for them. They host the league leaders Coventry and really the only thing that could stop the visitors taking all three points is the long trip down to the south coast, They have not lost on their travels so far with three wins and two draws.
Second Prediction For Portsmouth vs Coventry City – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 8/11
Pompey are not as free scoring as their visitors in this game, and have struggled with just nine goals in their 10 Championship fixtures. They will find it hard to improve on that tally given how tight the Sky Blues defence is with just seven conceded overall.
Third Prediction For Portsmouth vs Coventry City – Both Teams To Score – Yes – 4/6
Pompey have scored five of their nine goals at home, so with a goal a game average they may well shock teh leaders with a goal, If it comes early it may just wake up Coventry, who are scoring for fun. They have racked up an impressive 29 in total, with 16 on their travels, so with almost three goals a game average it will be hard not to see them light up the scoreboard more than once, but may just let their hosts in for a consolation.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results and Head to Head
John Mousinho is sailing a steady ship down in Portsmouth, but needs to be careful that his players are not treading water as they could slip inot the dark regions of the drop zone. Currently they are doing just enough to stay afloat but come across the Coventry City armada in this game and could be shot to pieces. However, under the lights anything could happen. Goals have bene the main concern, with just nine in total, less than a goal a game. That total has been shared by six players, so no one is really prolific. Colby Bishop is plying his trade up front still, and even he has only managed one goal despite playing every game. 19 year old South Korean Yang Min-Hyeok is doing his part with two goals and an assist. At the back they will be tested again, and Regan Poole, Marlon Pack, and Connor Ogilvie will have to be at their best to keep the score respectable.
Frank Lampard has his Coventry City side singing great tunes all over the pitch. They just cant stop scoring and winning. They are top for a reason, and their tight defence is just one of many positive features of this exciting team. With 29 goals scored, and just seven conceded, it is clear they have set a high standard to play by. Danish midfielder Victor Torp is one of many leading lights, and his six goals have certainly been welcome. Matching that figure is Brandon Thomas-Asante, who also has three assists. Haji Wright has a club leading eight goals. The tight defence is led Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching, and Dutchman Milan van Ewijk. This is a fun team to watch right now, and this could be another big night for City.
