THE PREDICTION
Coventry were left counting the cost of absences to key players after being beaten 1-0 by lowly Sheffield Wednesday last time out. The Sky Blues will welcome back midfielder Gustavo Hamer to their side following suspension against Stoke and his services will be vital with the Potters a dangerous opposition. Michael O’Neill’s side are creeping ever closer to the Championship playoff places after a 1-0 victory at home to Blackburn last weekend. The watertight Stoke defence in particular has set the foundation for their season so far, with six clean sheets in their last seven Championship games. Once again, a match involving Stoke in the Championship is likely to be devoid of much goal mouth action, with under 2.5 goals expected. However, Stoke could come into this fixture feeling the effects of any potential fatigue following a Carabao Cup quarter-final vs Tottenham just three days earlier, allowing Coventry to capitalise by holding the Potters to a draw at St Andrew’s.
