Anthony Eadson’s Coventry vs Newcastle predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson backs Malick Thiaw to commit a foul and Yoane Wissa to be shown a card.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Malick Thiaw to commit 1+ foul | 8/11 (bet365) | Malick Thiaw has played every minute of Newcastle United’s five Premier League games and committed a foul in four of them, against Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth and Leeds United. Coventry City have won 51 free kicks in five matches, and Brandon Thomas-Asante has drawn nine fouls in just 228 minutes. With Haji Wright out and Taiwo Awoniyi suspended, Thomas-Asante could lead the line and run at Thiaw all night. He has committed a foul in four of his five games, and 8/11 for at least one more looks the pick of the short prices. |
| Yoane Wissa to be shown a card | 17/5 (Ladbrokes) | Yoane Wissa has started all five Premier League games for Newcastle United and been booked twice, against Liverpool and Bournemouth. He has committed 10 fouls, including four in the 4-1 defeat at Leeds United, and Newcastle have collected 12 yellow cards as a team. Coventry City have won 26 free kicks in their last two games, and Wissa’s pressing from the front brings him into plenty of duels. Wissa is an obvious candidate to go into the book, and 17/5 is a decent price for it. |

How Coventry go into the game
Coventry sit 18th and have lost four of five, including a 5-0 home defeat to Brighton, with a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest their only joy.
Frank Lampard’s side have scored just one goal all season, through Jay Dasilva at Forest, and have lost both home games without scoring. Taiwo Awoniyi serves the final game of his ban, while Haji Wright and Aurele Amenda are out.
How Newcastle go into the game
Newcastle are ninth and inconsistent, beating Hull 2-1 at home last time out after a 4-1 defeat at Leeds and a 2-2 home draw with Bournemouth.
Matthias Jaissle’s side won 2-0 at Tottenham earlier in the run. Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock have two league goals each, but Elanga is a doubt with a thigh injury, while Joelinton and Dan Burn are back in training.
Coventry vs Newcastle head-to-head
