COVENTRY CITY v STEVENAGE
Friday 20th April 2018 – Kickoff: 1945hrs
Football – England – League Two Betting Tips
Seventh placed Coventry City will want to ensure they take all three points in their Friday night encounter with Stevenage at the Ricoh Arena in League Two, as the hosts are on the cusp of the play-off pack with the likes of Mansfield Town breathing down their necks.
Coventry returned to winning ways last time out with a 2-1 win away at Crawley Town but this followed back-to-back defeats to Yeovil Town and Notts County which threatened to de-rail Mark Robins’ side’s play-off ambitions.
Just two defeats from their last 11 matches on home turf have seen the Sky Blues emerge as play-off contenders, while their home record has improved to stats of 12-3-5 31/19 which includes recent wins against Swindon Town, Cambridge United, Barnet and Grimsby Town.
15th placed Stevenage have had a reasonable season in League Two but they could have found themselves in the top half of the fourth tier had their results away from home been closer to that of their form at home which has seen them lose just five matches all season.
However, an ordinary looking away record of 5-4-12 17/34 include just one win from their last six on their travels, which was a 1-0 win away at Newport County, but defeats at Accrington Stanley, Forest Green Rovers and Notts County suggest they could struggle to keep pace with Coventry City on Friday night.
In addition, Stevenage have conceded 2 goals or more in 9 of their 21 away matches to date, and with Coventry in pretty good form at home, the visitors will do well to get something from this clash.
