Coventry City vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction and Betting Tips | October 5th 2024

Coventry City will host Sheffield Wednesday at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Championship campaign. The home side have endured a slow start to their season and now find themselves 17th in the league table with just eight points from eight matches.

However, they returned to winning ways last time out with a 3-0 home victory over Blackburn Rovers, with Jake Bidwell heading home the opener in the first half before Haji Wright and Brandon Thomas-Asante joined the fullback on the scoresheet in the second.

Sheffield Wednesday have had their struggles in the league this season but remain hopeful of survival early in the campaign. They played out a goalless draw against Bristol City in their game on Wednesday and could have no major complaints about the result after managing just one shot on target throughout the match.

The visitors sit 19th in the table, although they are level on points with their weekend opponents and will be looking to add to that tally on Saturday.
