Coventry City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction: The teams are occupying the lower part of the second half of the table

Coventry City will welcome Huddersfield Town at The Coventry Building Society Arena in Gameweek 8 of the English Championship. The teams are occupying the lower part of the second half of the table. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Last season, Coventry reached the final of the Championship playoffs but unfortunately lost to Luton Town on penalties. As a result, they will continue to compete in the second tier of English football for the 2023-24 season. However, their performance this season has been slow to start, with only seven points collected from their first seven matches. This places them in 18th position in the league table. Although Coventry has only suffered two defeats, they have only won once and have drawn in four games so far. In their most recent match against Cardiff City, they were defeated 3-2, with Cardiff City leading throughout most of the game. Coventry will need to improve their performance in the upcoming weeks in order to climb up the standings. In the previous season, they won both matches against Huddersfield, scoring six goals and conceding none. This includes a 2-0 victory in their previous encounter with Huddersfield.

Huddersfield has entered a new phase under the leadership of Moore, who was recently appointed as head coach following Neil Warnock's departure. Despite the surprise departure of Sheffield Wednesday, where Moore led them to the Championship, he is now back in action with Huddersfield. It will be interesting to see what this highly regarded manager can accomplish with the Terriers this season. Huddersfield's performance last season was disappointing, finishing 18th in the Championship after being in third place in the previous season. Therefore, it is challenging to envision them achieving a high position in the table this season. Currently, they are ranked 16th with two wins, two draws, and three defeats in their seven matches, accumulating eight points. The team has shown improvement recently, earning seven points from their last three Championship games. They secured victories over West Bromwich Albion and Rotherham United, and drew 2-2 against Stoke City in Warnock's final match as coach.

This season, Coventry has established themselves as experts at securing draws, with four out of their seven Championship matches resulting in shared points. It is likely that we will witness another deadlock in this upcoming match. Huddersfield, who are under the guidance of a new manager, are expected to display a heightened level of determination and should be capable of securing at least one point during Monday night's game. Double chance on the away side is the way to go forward. We expect over 2.5 goals in the game.
