Manchester City - Coventry: Will Man City Win Three Matches in a Row?
In the third round of the English Premier League, Manchester City will face Coventry. The match will take place on Saturday, September 5, kick off at 16:00 CET, and I am offering you a bet on this game.
Manchester City - Coventry: Match Preview
Manchester City changed their head coach after last season. Pep Guardiola left the club after ten years, and Enzo Maresca took over. The start to the competitive season was not particularly successful. Man City lost 0-3 to Arsenal in the FA Community Shield. However, things have been better in the Premier League, with the team beating Bournemouth 2-1 and Crystal Palace 4-1. Last season, the Citizens finished second and will soon begin their new UEFA Champions League campaign.
Coventry managed to earn promotion to the English Premier League. Last season, they won the Championship with 95 points and scored 97 goals in 46 matches. However, their start to the new Premier League season has not been particularly successful. They first lost 0-3 to Arsenal and then suffered a 0-1 defeat to Hull City. Their only win of the new competitive season came against Plymouth, whom they beat 4-2 in the second round of the League Cup. Obviously, Coventry will be fighting for survival this campaign and will try to remain in England's top division. However, it will not be easy considering the squad and the overall quality of the team.
