by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions
It's been an excellent start to the Championship season for Sunderland, sitting top of the table. On Saturday they host Coventry who are 17th, at the Stadium Of Light. The Black Cats have been exceptional at home. Let's make a prediction on whether they can continue that against the Sky Blues.
Five wins and a draw from six games so far at home for Sunderland, their only slip-up coming against Leeds in a 2-2 draw. Their five wins have all been accompanied by a clean sheet so it is fast becoming a fortress in the northeast.
They have netted in the first half of all six, the 40th minute the longest that it has taken them to open the scoring in any home game. 12 goals have been scored, averaging two a game.
Coventry have a single win in seven games away from home this season. That came in their most recent road trip, an impressive 3-0 success at Middlesbrough.
Boro has been feast or famine this season, incredibly hard to predict so it is hard to know what that is worth in terms of form. Coventry has moved on from manager Mark Robins after a loss at home to Derby on Wednesday and a team trying to impress can be dangerous.

Our Sunderland vs Coventry City Prediction
This is probably going to be a tight game. Sunderland does not concede many at home and Coventry neither scores nor concedes many when they are on the road. As such, it could be a game that stays close for a while.
Sunderland looks the stronger of the two sides in this one so we will take them to pick up the three points but with limited goals. Our Sunderland vs Coventry prediction is for a Sunderland win and under 2.5 goals.
