Coventry
Tottenham
Within the 1/16 finals of the English League Cup, their meeting will be held Coventry - Tottenham. Dailysports specialists have prepared their reasoned prediction for this event.
Coventry
The representative of the Championship is still playing in its league with mixed success, the club has only one win, two defeats and the same number of draws. With such indicators, the team occupies the 14th line in the standings, although the gap from the top-6 is four points, so all the struggle ahead.
In the last round, Coventry in an exciting battle on the counter-courses painted the world away with Watford - 1:1. Already two opponents managed to pass in the English League Cup, first defeated away Bristol City, and then coped on their field with Oxford United, both matches ended with a score of 1:0.
Tottenham
The start of the season clearly does not correspond to the ambitions of “Spurs”, initially scored 4 points in two confrontations, and then followed by two not the most logical defeats. The team goes only 13th in the APL, but it is still possible to fix everything and get to the desired four.
In the last match, Tottenham lost in the principal London derby to one of the main enemies Arsenal, given the pattern of play, “Spurs” certainly did not deserve defeat in that meeting.
Match Facts
- Coventry have won two matches out of three at home this season.
- Tottenham have yet to win away in the current season.
- Bookmakers' quotes are as follows: W1 - 7.1, X - 4.8, W2 - 1.47.
Probable line-ups
- Coventry: Dovey, Kitching, Thomas, Latibeaudiere, Van Ewijk, Eccles, Thorpe, Dasilva, Rudoni, Mason-Clarke, Simms.
- Tottenham: Forster, Udogi, Romero, Dregushin, Maddison, Sar, Kulusevski, Son Werner, Johnson.
H2H
The clubs have played each other 91 times, with Tottenham winning on 43 occasions, Coventry winning 26 times and a draw being recorded 22 times. The last meeting took place 11 ago in the FA Cup.
Prediction
Between themselves will play representatives of different divisions, for this reason bookmakers give the advantage to the guests. It should be understood that it makes no sense for Spurs to release the entire base, because a hypothetical departure from the tournament will not be a disaster. A bet on a total of more than 2.5 goals looks quite reasonable here.
