Coventry vs Sunderland: the betting tip for the Championship match

Current form

Before the start of the season, Coventry was not among the obvious contenders for a playoff berth and was inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection. The Sky Blues failed in the first round and spent a long time at the bottom of the table, but the appointment of Frank Lampard changed everything. Under the new mentor, Coventry instantly transformed and made a leap from the middle of the table to the playoff zone, where he managed to gain a foothold. In the main part of the championship, the sky Blues finished in fifth place in the table, deciding the fate of the playoff berth in the last round.

Approximate line–up: Wilson – Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell - Grimes, Schiff, Sakamoto, Rudoni, Wright – Simms.

Current form

Sunderland, unlike its current rival, was considered a contender for a direct ticket to the Premier League before the start of the season and was quite capable of setting such tasks for itself, having a high-quality selection of players. In the first round, the black cats matched their status, but in the second half of the season they clearly lacked stability and had to drop out of the fight for a direct ticket to the elite ahead of schedule. At the same time, Regis Le Brice's team secured a place in the playoffs ahead of schedule and finished in fourth place in the table.

Disqualifications and injuries

Alesse, Huggins, Mandl and Poveda are injured.

Interesting betting trends

• Sunderland have lost their last five matches.
• Sunderland have not scored in their last three matches.

Approximate composition: Patterson –Hume, Mepham, O'nien, Sirkin–Bellingham, Neal, Roberts, Rigg, Le Feu– Mayenda.
