THE PREDICTION

Mark Robins will have been delighted with his Coventry side after they put in an outstanding all-round performance to beat top-six outfit Barnsley at the weekend, which saw the Sky Blues extend the gap between themselves and the bottom three to nine points. Robins will be confident that his men can widen that gap even further with another positive result away vs Stoke. The Potters are currently marooned in mid-table with their season petering out and a number of key players out through injury. The latest player ruled out of this match was central defender Harry Souttar due to suspension after being sent off in their 0-0 draw against Preston. Whilst the home side boast the more notable players within their squad, Robins has found a winning formula within his team that has seen them surprise many with how they have performance this season. With Coventry riding the crest of a wave following successive league victories, they may be set to surprise once again at the Bet365 Stadium and are well worth backing double chance vs Stoke.
