Coventry City vs Bournemouth: Bet on a Bournemouth goal before the break

Coventry City will play host to Bournemouth at home. This encounter will take place in the 43rd round of the Champions League. Will Parker's side be able to take advantage of Coventry's poor form at home?

After a 0:2 defeat to Nottingham Forest, Coventry City played two more away games. First, the team successfully travelled to London to Craven Cottage Stadium. Coventry was stronger than Championship-leading Fulham 3:1. The club beat Birmingham City this week. The meeting was more productive 4:2. At the end of 42 games, the team has 62 points. At the moment, Coventry City is ninth in the standings.

After a 0:2 defeat to West Bromwich Albion, Bournemouth drew twice. They drew with Sheffield United on the road and with Middlesbrough at home. Thus, Bournemouth has failed to score in three games in a row. Despite the slump, the team remains in second place in the Championship standings. The Cherries have 74 points after 40 appearances.

Coventry City is performing poorly at home this season in the Champions League. Only Peterborough United has led less than Coventry (three times) in the first halves of home games. For this reason, we can expect a good result for Bournemouth before the break. The Cherries sit second in the standings. Of course, the club wants to maintain this position and get a direct entry to the English Premier League. The meeting will be productive, with the total over. As the main bet, we suggest considering the visitors' goal in the first half.
