Championship Betting Preview: Coventry vs Sheffield Wednesday

It's top against bottom as Championship leaders Coventry square off against relegated Sheffield Wednesday at Coventry Building Society Arena, with kick-off set for 07:30 on Saturday 11 April.

We’re backing Coventry -2.25 for their clash against Sheffield Wednesday. We like the Asian Handicap odds of -127 and land a full return if the favourites win by three or more goals. Half our stake is returned if they win by two goals.

Table-topping Coventry City need no more than six points to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League, with a win here potentially enough if results elsewhere go their way.

Coventry drew on the road in their last game. A 0-0 scoreline was played out against Hull City at MKM Stadium. The Sky Blues had most of the ball enjoying 55% possession and one shot on target.

Bottom-of-the-table Sheffield Wednesday played Leicester City at home in their previous game. It was a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough. Henrik Pedersen's men had just 31% of the ball and one shot on goal, with Jerry Yates finding the net.

Head-to-Head Statistics

Coventry are bidding for a third successive win against Wednesday, having previously obliged on the road by 5-0 and 2-1 scorelines at Hillsborough. Coventry have won six of the previous 10 H2H meetings, with Wednesday getting two victories along with two draws.
