Coventry City vs Newcastle Prediction
Expect a cagey, low-scoring night in which neither side finds much space. Coventry City’s defensive record, leaking goals at a rate that has them at minus nine on goal difference from five matches, says they will create little themselves, while Newcastle have shown in matches against Bournemouth and Liverpool that they do not always need to flood forward to find a goal. Our call is a tight 0-1 win for Newcastle, with Joseph Willock – who already has 2 goals from 10 shots in a small sample – the man most likely to supply it.
