Preston vs Coventry prediction and top betting tips
Preston and Coventry both won at the weekend to add three points to their respective tallies but can they go again on Tuesday night with such a short turnaround? Find out with our Preston vs Coventry match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.
Preston vs Coventry Prediction 1: Preston to win
We begin our predictions for this game by backing Preston to win – albeit we believe the game will be an extremely tight affair. Coventry come into this game in a three game winning run but their away form is pretty ropey with four defeats in their last five games on the road. Preston meanwhile are also in a much more positive mindset after beating Wigan at the weekend to make it three games unbeaten. In itself, we would perhaps argue this game is a 50/50 shout but the head to head record is heavily in the favour of Preston; they’ve won five of the last six meetings and haven’t lost to Coventry since way back in 2013 – that was 11 games ago! That record convinced us that Preston to win is the right bet.
Preston vs Coventry Prediction 2: Under 2.5 goals
Like with our first prediction, the head to head record comes into our thinking in quite a big way for this tip too as we back under 2.5 goals. We’ll start with the recent form element of things. Preston have seen two of their last three games go under the 2.5 goal mark whilst Coventry have gone under 2.5 goals in four of their past five games. The head to head record further cements our thoughts that this will be low scoring as each of the last two – and four of the last five – meetings have all gone south of the 2.5 mark.

Draw odds: 9/4 (3.25) – 31%

Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Preston vs CoventryPreston
Preston enjoyed a first win in six games at the weekend and will be keen to build on that here in what is a very winnable fixture. Ordinarily, an unchanged lineup might be in order but with such a quick turnaround that might not be possible on this occasion. Brad Potts is likely to be among those to drop out.
Predicted lineup – Woodman, Diaby, Cunningham, Lindsay, Brady, Ledson, Johnson, Fernandez, Browne, Delap, Cannon
Coventry
Coventry have won three games on the bounce now but, like their hosts, will be feeling the burn of the intense Championship schedule with this game coming just three days later. Ben Sheaf, Fabio Tavares and Callum O’Hare are all out injured and therefore unavailable for selection.
Predicted lineup – Wilson, McNally, McFadzean, Doyle, Norton-Cuffy, Hamer, Eccles, Bidwell, Allen, Palmer, Gyokeres

Player to watch
Despite backing Preston to win, it’s hard to look past Viktor Gyokeres as a key player in this game. The Coventry forward has 20 goals contributions for the season already – 15 goals and five assists – and he’s bang in form right now too. He has scored in each of his last three matches.
