Bournemouth Preview – Can the Cherries secure first win in three?
Bournemouth made a blistering start under new boss Scott Parker. The Cherries were unbeaten in their opening 15 Championship matches, picking up an impressive 11 wins and drawing four times.
However, Bournemouth’s form has been patchy over the past month or so. They suffered their first league loss of the campaign on 3rd November, with Preston North End running out 2-1 winners at the Vitality Stadium. Then last weekend, they lost 3-2 at Derby County.
Bournemouth bounced back from the Derby defeat with a battling draw at Millwall in midweek. Dominic Solanke gave the Cherries the lead on the stroke of half time, but Benik Afobe levelled for the Lions in the second period. After taking just one point from the last six on offer, can Bournemouth seal a vital victory on Saturday?
Coventry City Preview – Can the Sky Blues cause an upset in Dorset?
Mark Robins’ Coventry City have been the surprise package in the Championship this season. The Sky Blues were tipped to struggle before a ball was kicked, but Coventry have spent the majority of the campaign in the play-off spots.
Coventry are sitting pretty in fifth place at present. So far, City have won nine, drawn five and lost five of 19 league games. They have been tough to beat lately, losing just one of the last six. They head into this one on the back of back-to-back 0-0 draws with Sheffield United and Birmingham City.
