Coventry vs Newcastle — Tips & Analysis

Under 3: Neither of these two can find the net right now, and that is the case for the quiet game. Coventry have scored one goal in five league games. That goal came in a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, their most recent game. In the four league games before that, they did not score at all. They are also missing five players, including Awoniyi, who was sent off. Newcastle are not much better. They have scored under a goal a game across their last six away trips, winning 2, tying 1 and losing 3. They have made very few chances in their last four games, and seven of their own men carry knocks. Two teams who cannot score, both short of bodies, after 23 days off. That is the recipe for a nervous night with very few clear chances. A 0-1 Newcastle win is the most likely score. They have enough control to win a poor game by the only goal without ever cutting loose. The catch is what else happened in Coventry's run. They lost 0-5 and 0-3 in it, so when they get picked apart, they get picked apart badly. Coventry's games have also had 3 goals in total on average. One rout and we lose this. Both attacks are too cold for that, so we still think the goals stay scarce.
