Best Tip: Coventry to win

A Championship home win for Frank Lampard's Coventry side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for the opposition. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A Coventry win is the way to go, but we wouldn't expect a whitewash.
