Coventry City vs Watford Prediction

Coventry made it all the way to the Championship playoff final last season. but that looks like a distant memory for the Sky Blues. Mark Robins' side have won just one of five competitive games this season and risk jeopardising their promotion aspirations unless they improve their fortunes.

Watford, meanwhile, started the season on a rampage, scoring four goals in the opening 43 minutes against QPR. However, goals have dried up since then, and the Hornets have failed to score in their last three league outings.

Expect the two sides to cancel each other out in a goalless stalemate.

Prediction: Coventry City 0-0 Watford
