Coventry City will be aiming to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season when they host struggling Sheffield United at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday night.
The Sky Blues’ unbeaten start came to an abrupt end last weekend as they squandered a 1-0 lead to lose 3-1 against Wrexham, a result that served as a reminder of the fine margins at the top of the Championship.
Coventry had previously enjoyed a seven-match winning streak in which they scored at least twice in every game, keeping four clean sheets along the way, but their defensive solidity has faltered recently with three straight games without a shutout.
At home, however, the Sky Blues have been formidable. They have won five and drawn two of their seven home fixtures this season, scoring freely and looking one of the division’s most complete sides in front of their supporters. A fourth straight home victory would further consolidate their position at the summit.
Sheffield United arrive in the West Midlands searching for a response to a difficult run that has seen them lose back-to-back matches. The Blades’ 3-1 defeat to Derby County at Bramall Lane followed another three-goal concession against Birmingham City, leaving manager Chris Wilder frustrated with his team’s vulnerability to counter-attacks.
After finishing third last season and narrowly missing out on promotion, United’s current form has been underwhelming, with just four wins from 13 matches.
On a brighter note, their attack has finally begun to spark into life, scoring six goals in their last three games after managing only five across their opening eleven. Away from home, results remain inconsistent — two wins and six defeats from eight outings — underlining the challenge they face here.
The Betting Verdict
Coventry City’s strength at home and attacking firepower should see them return to winning ways against a fragile Sheffield United defence.
The Pick :
Coventry City 2-1 Sheffield Utd
