Bitesize Prediction: Coventry vs Bristol City – 01/01/23
Competition: Championship
Market: Coventry void
Rating: 8/15 @
Looking to open the new year with a return to winning ways, Coventry host Bristol City on Sunday afternoon.
Starting with the hosts, disappointed earlier in the week as they ultimately had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate against Cardiff, Coventry will be looking for an answer here. Although Mark Robins' men have managed to pick up just one win in their last five league outings, that shouldn't hurt the mood in their camp. While the Sky Blues could once again face financial problems behind the scenes, they have only lost a pair of their previous nine second-tier clashes - a streak dating back to October 29. Looking to find a way into the top half of the New Year, Coventry have continued to impress at home this season. In fact, on a run marked by a 1-0 win over Coventry last month, Sunday's hosts are unbeaten in each of their last six league games in front of their own fans.
When it comes to the visitors, although Bristol City may have claimed their own 0-0 draw at Millwall earlier in the week, Robins find themselves in the midst of another prolonged rut. Holding just a three-point buffer from the drop zone and in the midst of a potential relegation tumble, Nigel Pearson's men have picked up just one win from one of their last 10 attempts. With that race stretching back to October 18, the former Watford boss could face another tough test on New Year's Day. Picking up just one point in their last three second-tier outings, it's also worth noting that Pearson's side hold a largely downbeat record against Sunday's opponents. Picking up just one win in one of their previous five meetings, we're backing a no bet home draw here.
