Odds are subject to change. Coventry – 6/4 Draw – 23/10 Sheffield United – 17/10 Coventry v Sheffield United predictions Despite dwelling in the bottom half of the table and just one point above the relegation zone and facing a side second in the table with only goal difference separating them from top spot, Coventry head into Saturday’s big second tier bout as favourites for victory. The Sky Blues will be playing their second match since the surprise sacking of Mark Robins as manager after nearly seven and a half years in charge of the West Midlands side, with former assistant boss Rhys Carr set to be in the hot seat once again. Former Chelsea player and manager Frank Lampard is the runaway favourite to be named the new manager at the CBS Arena, and could be sat in the stands for Saturday’s game to see his potential new side in action. Despite being just a point above the drop zone, the Sky Blues head into the weekend just three points off the top half of the table in an incredibly tightly congested Championship table, and will be looking to make a quick climb up the table as they bid for promotion this season. Sheffield United have arguably been the most impressive team in the Championship this season, and would be sitting two points clear at the top of the table if it weren’t for their points deduction for defaulting on payments to other clubs in the last two seasons. As it stands though, Chris Wilder’s side sit level on points with Sunderland at the top of the tree, two points clear of Leeds, who lead the chasing pack for the automatic promotion places. The Blades currently boast the second best defence in the second tier, conceding just seven goals from their 15 league games so far, and head into the weekend on a four match winning streak, a run which has seen them concede just once, which came from the penalty spot. Only three teams have picked up fewer points at home than Coventry this season, while only one team have picked up more points on the road than their Yorkshire visitors, suggesting an away win will be on the cards on Saturday lunchtime – I’m predicting 1-2. Coventry v Sheffield United betting tips Gus Hamer is Sheffield United’s leading goal scorer so far this season with four goals to his name, though players from all over the field have been chipping in with goals this season, which will delight Wilder. Coventry were dealt a big blow over the international break when their top scorer and star player this season Haji Wright was ruled out for the next few games after being stretchered off the field in their draw with Sunderland a fortnight ago. Coventry had found their goal scoring form recently with nine goals scored in their last four games, but coming up against a side who have conceded only seven goal all season without their top scorer will be huge trouble.
