The hosts are close to their first win: Tottenham vs Coventry prediction
The seventh-round Premier League clash between Tottenham and Coventry will take place on Monday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The hosts remain the only team in the league without a win, while Coventry head into the match on the back of two consecutive victories and have already climbed to 14th place.
Tottenham: poor results, but the performances are gradually improving
Roberto De Zerbi's side have collected just three points from six rounds and are yet to win a league match. In the previous round, Spurs snatched a 1-1 draw away to Manchester United, with Dominic Solanke equalizing in the closing stages.
At the same time, the trends are slowly improving: Tottenham have lost just one of their last four Premier League matches and have scored four goals in their last three games after failing to find the net in three consecutive matches. Finishing remains the main problem, with the team underperforming its expected goals tally by 3.9.
Coventry: back-to-back wins have boosted confidence
Frank Lampard's team made a dramatic upturn after four consecutive defeats. First, Coventry beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 before thrashing Newcastle 4-1.
Jack Rudoni, Siddiq Sheriff, Ellis Simms and Stephen Mfuni found the net in that match. The result significantly lifted the team's mood, but the visitors now face a much tougher away assignment against an opponent desperate to claim its first win.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Tottenham have yet to win any of their six Premier League matches.
- Coventry have won their last two matches by an aggregate score of 5-1.
- Tottenham have won their last five meetings with Coventry.
The hosts' first win looks close: Tottenham vs Coventry prediction
Coventry arrive in London in high spirits, but a run of two wins does not erase the gap in class. The hosts should offer greater quality in attack, especially if James Maddison is handed a place in the starting lineup.
Tottenham remain wasteful in front of goal, so a rout is unlikely. However, the hosts' defense looks reliable enough to contain an in-form opponent and finally secure their first league win.
