- Third Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals – 4/5
First Prediction For Stoke City vs Coventry City – Stoke City – Draw No Bet – 21/20
Stoke have hit form at just the right time heading into this fixture, winning 3 games on the spin. They’ve also found their scoring boots over the last couple of outings and have hit the back of the net 8 times in their last 2.
The Potters have moved up to second in the table and will see this has a huge opportunity to close the gap on the leaders, who looked to be running away with the division just a fortnight ago.
Coventry saw their unbeaten run come to an end in their last away game, where they lost 3-2 at Wrexham. Despite being the division’s highest scoring team, there was still a feeling that this result was coming, having scraped past Portsmouth at Fratton Park last month.
The Sky Blues had to come from behind to beat Sheffield United on Tuesday night and will face arguably their toughest fixture of the campaign so far when they visit the bet365 Stadium. Stoke are unbeaten at home since August and will take some beating.
Second Prediction For Stoke City vs Coventry City
Stoke rank low in this market, with just 36% of their fixtures seeing both teams score. However, this does increase to 50% in front of their own supporters and they’ll find it tough to shut out a team that have only failed to score that have a staggering 39 goals to their name.
Coventry just can’t stop scoring but have also conceded in their last 4 games. This now means that 57% of their outings thus far have hit this market and it should follow suit here.
Third Prediction For Stoke City vs Coventry City
Just like the previous market, Stoke have only been involved in games that have featured 3 or more goals in 36% of their fixtures thus far. However, this does include their last 2, where they beat Bristol City 5-1 before a 3-0 win over Oxford United on Tuesday.
Coventry’s tendency to score a hatful means that they rank high in this market. No other team in the Championship has outdone them here, with 10 of their 14 league showings being high scoring affairs.
Only 1 of the Sky Blues’ last 8 games has fallen short, with that being a 2-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers last month. The only time they have produced under 2.5 goals away from the CBS Arena was a 0-0 draw against Leicester City in September.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
After finishing in the bottom half of the Championship every year since suffering relegation from the Premier League in 2018, Stoke look ready to launch a serious promotion bid. Mark Robins’ team are in a rich vein of form and have lost just 1 of their last 8.
They head into this game on the back of 3 successive wins, with 3 points picked up against Portsmouth (1-0), Bristol City (5-1) and Oxford United (3-0). This has seen the Potters move up to second in the table, where they are 4 points below Saturday’s opponents.
Coventry have been by far the standout team in the division thus far. They have impressed throughout, with exceptional performances seeing them record big victories over the likes of Derby County (5-3), Queens Park Rangers (7-1), Millwall (4-0) and Sheffield Wednesday (5-0).
After picking up 6 successive wins from the end of September, the Sky Blues finally tasted defeat for the first time this season when they lost 3-2 at Wrexham in their last away game. However, they dug deep on Tuesday when they were forced to come from behind to record a 3-1 win over struggling Sheffield United.
There is little between the 2 sides in both recent meetings, and throughout their respective histories. They picked up a win apiece last season when Stoke won 1-0 at the bet365 Stadium in August 2024, whilst the reverse fixture at the CBS Arena saw Coventry secure a 3-2 victory in March.
Overall, it is the Sky Blues who edge the head-to-head record with 32 wins in 74 previous clashes. Stoke have 31 victories whilst they have played out a draw on just 11 occasions, the last of which was in 2023.
