A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: Championship
Venue: bet365 Stadium
Saturday 8th November 2025, 1500hrs (GMT)
Former Coventry City manager, Mark Robins, will face his former club on Saturday afternoon when Stoke City play host to the Sky Blues at the bet365 Stadium with the upcoming hosts in blistering form ahead of this weekend’s action in the Championship.
Indeed, Stoke City have picked up four wins in their last five games overall in the domestic second tier thanks to victories gained over the likes of Wrexham, Portsmouth, Bristol City and Oxford United respectively.
Goals have also featured in The Potters’ recent resurgence in form as the hosts have scored 10 goals in their last five league matches and have conceded just three goals in reply in the process.
Stoke possess a strong looking home record of 4-1-1 11/4.
Coventry City overcame a 1-0 deficit at home to Sheffield United to run out eventual 3-1 winners in midweek which saw Frank Lampard’s side return to winning ways and maintain their lead at the top of the Championship table with a four-point cushion above 2nd placed Stoke City.
The Sky Blues have won seven of their last eight matches in the Championship while the bigger picture shows the visitors have suffered just one loss in their 14 league matches played so far in this season’s campaign.
An away record of 4-2-1 20/9 suggests Coventry City will once again be tough to beat on their travels but Stoke City will also be in confident mood that they can take something from this top-of-the-table clash at the bet365 Stadium.
The Betting Verdict
The last meeting at the bet365 Stadium between Stoke City and Coventry City resulted in a 1-0 win for the hosts and with Mark Robins starting to work his magic on The Potters, Stoke look a decent bet with the handicap here.
The Pick :
Stoke City 1-1 Coventry City
