Preston v Coventry Tips

Following their away defeat at Ipswich, Coventry saw their lead at the top of the table cut to seven points. Tonight they face another tricky away game. Preston are fifth in the table, level on points with Ipswich. Their last two home games saw them draw with Wrexham and lose against Blackburn. They have a good record against Coventry, having won four and drawn one of the last five games when welcoming Coventry to their ground. However, with the Ipswich defeat ringing in their ears, I'm sure Frank Lampard will have his players up for this game. Hopefully the game against Ipswich was just a blip, and Coventry, who have taken six points from their last three away games, can return to winning ways.

Coventry has won 13, drawn 4 and lost 2 of their 19 league games and sits top of the Championship with 43 points, losing their last league game 3-0 away against Ipswich. Coventry has scored 50 goals and conceded 21 goals in their 19 league games played. Preston has won 8, drawn 7 and lost 4 of their 19 league games and sits 5th in the Championship with 31 points, drawing their last league game 1-1 at home against Wrexham. Preston has scored 26 goals and conceded 20 goals in their 19 league games played. Preston has won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of the last head-to-heads against Coventry, losing the last meeting 2-1 away but winning the previous two meetings 1-0 at home and 3-0 away. I am taking both teams to score in this game tonight.
