Mark Robins’ Coventry City have been the surprise package in the EFL Championship so far this season. The Sky Blues are riding high in third after six wins from their opening nine.

Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters secure a first win in seven?
Luton Town have had an indifferent start to their Championship season, winning only two of their opening nine. The Hatters have drawn four and lost three of the other seven to occupy 16th spot on ten points.
Luton have struggled for wins of late, failing to pick up three points since a 1-0 victory at Barnsley on matchday three. They have gone on to draw four and lose two of their following six. After four consecutive Championship draws, Luton were beaten at leaders Bournemouth last weekend.
Despite being on home soil, Wednesday’s fixture against in-form Coventry will be a tough assignment for Nathan Jones and his troops. Both teams are currently priced at 17/10 to get the win, while the draw is available at 11/5.
Coventry City Preview – Sky Blues to extend unbeaten run to five?
Having finally secured a move back to their home, the spirits were high at Coventry City even before a ball was kicked this season. However, not may City supporters would have envisioned such an impressive start on the pitch, as the Sky Blues are sitting pretty in third position after nine matches played.
Coventry have already picked up wins over Nottingham Forest, Blackpool, Reading, Middlesbrough, Cardiff City and Peterborough United. Five of those six victories have come at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Luton Town vs Coventry City Betting Advice
Luton had a fine season in the Championship last time around, finishing in a very respectable 12th place. On their way to a mid-table finish, the Hatters picked up four points from their two meetings with Coventry.

Luton are undefeated in their last five against the Sky Blues, picking up two wins and drawing three times. Coventry’s last victory in this fixture was a 3-0 away success in an EFL League Two affair back in October 2017.
Key Facts – Luton Town vs Coventry City Betting Tip
- Luton are unbeaten in five against Coventry
- The Hatters are winless in six (four draws, two losses)

Coventry have been exceptional at home, but they have only won once on the road this term. In their last away fixture, they drew 1-1 with Millwall at The Den. We fancy the stalemate here, and the draw and under 2.5 goals is nicely priced at 11/4.
Viktor Gyokeres has made a superb start to his season, scoring seven Championship goals already. Back the 23-year-old Swede to score anytime in this one at 21/10.
