FLEETWOOD TOWN v COVENTRY CITY
Saturday 3rd September 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – League One Betting Tips
8th placed Fleetwood Town will be looking to maintain their unbeaten record at their Highbury Stadium on Saturday afternoon when they play host to struggling outfit Coventry City, knowing that three points here today could lift them up into the early play-off positions.
Fleetwood have lost just once so far this season in League One and that was a 2-1 defeat away at promotion candidates Bolton Wanderers, but they return back to their home ground for this encounter where they’ll no doubt be eyeing off all three points.
Fleetwood are unbeaten at home as they’ve drawn 2-2 with Scunthorpe United along with registering a 2-0 win over Oxford United, and with a plethora of attacking options for manager Uwe Rosler at his disposal, the hosts will fancy their chances of outscoring their struggling opponents.
Onto Coventry City then, and it’s a far, far cry from the former glory days of the top flight of English football as the midlands outfit have fallen from grace in dramatic fashion. Their long-awaited triumphant return to their Ricoh Arena seems a lifetime ago, and the momentum has long since disappeared.
The Sky Blues find themselves in the relegation places early on in this new season as they are without a win from their first five matches of the season following draws at home with Shrewsbury Town, Bury and Northampton Town, while suffering back-to-back defeats on their travels.
Losses at Swindon Town and Bradford City already could signal a very long and arduous season for the once-famous club and having lost five of their last seven away matches, the writing seems to be on the wall for this clash too.
Pick: Fleetwood Town AH0 @ 1.59 Bet Victor
