Bristol City vs Coventry City Prediction: The teams have had exact same number of points after 11 games in the league

Bristol City will welcome Coventry City at Ashton Gate Stadium in Game Week 12 of the English Championship. The teams have had exact same number of points after 11 games in the league. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

It is no surprise to Bristol City supporters that their team lacks consistency, but they will be disappointed with their recent dip in form before the international break. Out of their last four matches, they have lost three, with their only victory coming against Rotherham United, who are currently in 23rd place. Nigel Pearson, the manager, will understand that his players need to quickly regroup and find their winning ways again. Although two of the losses were against strong opponents Leicester City and Leeds United, their 3-2 defeat at home to struggling Stoke City is concerning.

Nevertheless, Bristol City is currently just three points away from the top six, so they still have a chance to compete. Their defensive record is relatively solid, conceding only 13 goals in 11 games. However, it is worth noting that they have only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last nine matches, which is not ideal considering their occasional struggle to score goals.

Coventry is showing signs of improvement with eight points gained from their last four games. They recently achieved victories against Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers, and managed to secure a 1-1 draw against Norwich City with a late equalizer in their last match. Similarly to their upcoming opponents, Coventry is now within reach of the playoff positions, and their coach, Mark Robins, is confident in their ability to secure another away victory. However, it is important to note that Coventry has only won three out of their 11 games in the 2023-24 second division and has drawn six, despite scoring in their last eight league matches.

Several weeks ago, Bristol City was expected to have the upper hand in this match, but now the momentum has shifted towards Coventry. While we anticipate a closely contested game, it is possible that the visiting team may come out on top in the later parts of the fixture. Take double chance on the away side. Overall under 2.5 goals are expected from the game.
