Coventry deserves a medal for the work they put in this season. The difficulties this side had to endure include starting with a 10 point penalty, having to cope with a transfer embargo and a mediocre squad, plus having to play their home games away from home, at Northampton. Despite all these, Coventry has already left the last place after 8 rounds, they have 4 points, but they won 14 on the field. Steven Pressley stated that his team can beat anyone in the league, and that is the accurate statement. Coventry`s force comes from their terrific attacking play. The hosts have the second best offense in the league, scoring 22 goals, but on the other hand conceding 16. A change of style is not in the books, as Pressley considers this approach to be successful and Coventry`s results stand as proof.
Brentford is a solid League One side, they should finish mid-table with no promotion chances but no relegation worries either. They are on 11th place at the moment with 12 points, 2 less than Coventry obtained on the pitch. Brentford are on a run of high scoring games, with 3 of their last 4 games finishing with at least three goals.
Team news
Baker and Daniels will miss out for the Sky Blues, while Barton is doubtful and will probably sit on the bench. Brentford have a couple of defensive issues with first choice keeper Barton and defender Bidwell both unavailable, as well as are midfielders Saville and Douglas.
I think Coventry is a favorite to edge this at home, they are also in slightly better form, but Brentford is a good side and I`m afraid they might just have enough to snatch a draw. I`m going with the more logical choice, which is the over 2,5. Both teams are offensive and have some problems in defense. More so, Coventry has higher scoring games at home, while Brentford has higher scoring games on the road. The fact that both sides are missing players in midfield and defense won’t hurt the over wither. Hart to see anything else than goals when Coventry is playing, and Brentford is not a defensive team that could frustrate the hosts. Expect another enthusiastic and free flowing performance from the home side, with the visitors buying into their style of play. My pick is 2-1 for Coventry or a 2-2 draw.
