One of the matches of the 44th round of the Championship will take place on Monday at Home Park, where local Plymouth will host Coventry City. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Plymouth is going through tough times and is firmly rooted at the bottom of the Championship table, occupying the last — 24th place. The team is, to put it mildly, struggling, and their current form only confirms their crisis situation. In the last round, the Greens stumbled again — this time in an away match against Middlesbrough, losing 2-1.
However, the team has bright games, like the recent one against Sheffield United, but these points do not change the situation. Plymouth is three points behind Derby County, but unstable defense, lack of creative solutions in attack, and a clear psychological breakdown make the fight for survival extremely challenging.
Coventry confidently holds a place in the playoff zone and currently rounds out the top six clubs in the Championship. The team shows stability and fighting spirit, regularly earning points in the tight race for a Premier League spot.
In the last round, the Sky Blues hosted West Bromwich at home and defeated the opponent 2-0. Before that, Mark Robins' squad overcame Portsmouth with a 1-0 victory — minimal but deserved, giving the opponent no chance. They also drew with Hull City away.
Probable lineups
- Plymouth: Hazard - Taloverov, Katic, Palsson, Sorinola - Randell, Houghton, Puchacz, Wright - Alhaj, Bundu
- Coventry City: Collins, Van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva, Grimes, Allen, Sakamoto, Rudoni, Mason-Clarke, Wright
