Not much between Coventry and Blackpool

Not much between Coventry and Blackpool
2905

On Saturday afternoon, Coventry host Blackpool at the Ricoh Arena, as both teams look to maintain their good starts to the new League One campaign.

The two teams are currently fourth and third in the table respectively. A victory could take either team to the top of the table if results elsewhere go their way in the third tier.

Both have enjoyed similar starts to their League One campaigns, winning three and drawing three games so far this season. The only difference in their performances in League One so far is that Coventry have conceded one more goal.

The home side enjoyed a 3-3 draw at Oxford United last time out in the league. The results mean that Mark Robins’ side has scored at least twice in three of their last four League One outings.

The Sky Blues have a decent recent record of late at the Ricoh Arena, as they are unbeaten in six home matches in the third tier, having recorded four wins. Their defensive displays have been the key to those home wins, as they have kept clean sheets in five of those six undefeated games.

The visitors have drawn their last three League One games after opening their campaign with three straight victories. Last time out in League One, the Tangerines drew 1-1.

Blackpool have struggled for away wins of late, as the visitors have won just once in their last six matches on their travels in the third tier of the English game. However, four of their last six matches have finished in draws.

The Tangerines head into this game on the back of suffering just one defeat in the last six meetings with Coventry in all competitions, with the last four meetings coming in League One.

There is not much between the two teams on paper. Therefore, it is not a major surprise that Forebet is predicting that this game will finish in a low-scoring draw.
