THE PREDICTION
Wayne Rooney’s Derby will be looking to bounce back following a crushing 4-0 defeat away to Cardiff in midweek with the relegation fight heating up. Their opponents Coventry have picked up just one point in their last three Championship games and three points would see them move level on points with Derby. The Rams will no doubt tighten up considerably at the back following their Cardiff loss and this may lead to a cagey affair with goalmouth action at a premium. With a lot at stake here, neither side will likely be willing to take any serious risks, which could see them get caught by the opposition in their quest to win this match. Therefore, regardless of who comes out on top, under 2.5 goals scored has to be favoured.
