Coventry City vs Swansea City Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2023

Coventry City will host Swansea City at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.

After a sluggish start to their season, the home side have found good form in recent weeks and are now closing in on the playoff spots. They beat newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in their last match, with Japan international Tatsuhiro Sakamoto scoring a brace to hand Mark Robin's men a hard-fought victory.

Coventry City sit mid-table in 13th place with 33 points from 24 games and will be looking to continue their good run of form on Friday.

Swansea City meanwhile have had mixed results in the league this season and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the pile with half the season now gone. They were thrashed 5-0 by promotion-chasing Southampton on Boxing Day conceding the latter four of those goals in the second half.

The visitors sit 17th in the Championship standings with 28 points picked up so far and will be looking to close out the year on a positive note.
