Coventry City vs Bristol City Prediction: Both teams aiming for top six

Coventry City will welcome Bristol City at The Coventry Building Society Arena in Game Week 29 of the English Championship. Both teams are aiming for the top six after drawing their FA cup fixtures. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Coventry City form

Coventry City will be returning to their base in the East Midlands on Tuesday night after playing two consecutive matches against Danny Rohl's Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough. They earned three points in the second-tier standings and secured a spot in the FA Cup fifth-round draw. However, they are scheduled to have a rematch against Sheffield Wednesday next month.

On a mild Friday evening in Yorkshire, Dane Victor Torp made his debut for the Sky Blues and impressively scored a long-range goal to give Coventry the lead in the match. Unfortunately, Sheffield Wednesday managed to equalize with a late goal from Djeidi Gassama, resulting in a draw.

If Mark Robins's team wins their fourth-round replay in early February, they will face sixth-tier Maidstone United in an exciting match. However, for now, Coventry needs to focus on their Championship games. Their upcoming opponents on Tuesday have an impressive nine-game unbeaten run in the second tier.

After losing Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer to Sporting Lisbon and Sheffield United respectively, Coventry had a difficult start to the campaign. However, recent signings like Haji Wright and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto have contributed to the team's improvement, allowing them to achieve new heights in recent months.

With three consecutive victories in the Championship since New Year's Day, Coventry has climbed to sixth place in the second-tier standings, just behind Sunderland due to their inferior goal difference. They are only two points away from overtaking West Bromwich Albion in fifth place.

Coventry City Predicted Lineup

Collins; Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell; Sakamoto, Sheaf, Eccles, Palmer, O'Hare; Simms

Bristol City form

Bristol City secured their spot in the fifth round draw of the FA Cup with a goalless draw against Nottingham Forest on Friday evening. Nottingham Forest's Matt Turner was the busier goalkeeper during the match, and Bristol City were arguably fortunate to avoid defeat. Despite a strong start to the season with three consecutive wins in the Championship, Bristol City's momentum has been halted by a four-match winless streak. Scott Twine, who recently joined on loan from Burnley, made his debut and scored to level the scoreline in their previous Championship game against Watford, but Bristol City were unable to secure a victory. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only three goals in seven matches this year. After selling Alex Scott to Bournemouth for a significant fee in the summer, Bristol City is now focusing on acquiring young talents with potential resale value, as seen with the signings of Taylor Gardner-Hickman and Josh Stokes.

Bristol City Predicted Lineup

O'Leary; Tanner, Vyner, Dickie; McCrorie, Williams, James, Pring, Knight, Twine; Conway

This prediction is further reinforced by the ongoing struggles Bristol City faces in their offensive play.
