Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Coventry City to win — 1.84
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.88
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Combo: Both teams to score + over 2.5 goals — 2.05
Wrexham may be in top form in recent weeks but Coventry City are likely to go through because they are in much-improved competition and have lost just once in their last five Championship games.
Wrexham are a good goalscoring side as three of their last five games ended with over 2.5 goals. Two out of Coventry City’s last five matches ended with over 2.5 goals, hence expecting this fixture to end similarly.
Wrexham have scored at least one goal in each of their last seven matches. Coventry City conceded at least one goal in three of their last five games, hence expecting both sides to score and total goals to exceed two.
Coventry City are not in their best shape this season as they have only won one of their last five Championship matches and for this reason, they occupy the 14th position with 35 points after 25 matches.
The Red Dragons are in superb form, having won seven out of their last nine matches across all competitions. For this reason, they occupy the 2nd position in the National League with 56 points, two points off the first spot with a game in hand, after 24 matches.
Coventry City may be lacking consistency this season but playing against a National League side at home shouldn’t come as a tough nut to crack, hence backing the home side to win.
Because I think this game could produce at least three goals, I am backing Coventry City to win the game 3-1.
Back Coventry to qualify for the fourth round of the FA Cup.
