Coventry City have the chance to rise into the top half of the Championship standings when they host Watford this Saturday. Heading into this game, Watford are eighth, five places ahead of their hosts. We have a prediction for this match below.
Coventry have been on the rise lately and come here having opened up a nine-point gap from the relegation region. They will want to extend their good run, being unbeaten in their last three matches.
The latest of them was 2-0 away win at promotion hopefuls Blackburn Rovers. Here they face another top six contender, seeking a third straight clean sheet.
Watford, meanwhile, come into this game looking to recover from a recent slump. The Hornets’ top six credentials have come under serious scrutiny following their run of just three wins in their last 11 league matches.
Across all competitions, the visitors have suffered five defeats in their previous seven matches. That was against a struggling side, Derby County.
The poor run has seen Tom Cleverley’s side fall a point off the top six and will hope for a win here to rise again. Their ambitions for this match may be curtailed by the fact that they have just a win in six meetings with Watford.
