Coventry Form

Frank Lampard’s Coventry are seventh in the Championship and just one point outside the play-off places. The Midlands side have won six of their last nine league matches.

The Sky Blues won five matches in a row from February to March, including three home victories. Coventry then lost 2-0 at Derby and 3-1 at Sheffield United either side of a 3-0 home win against Sunderland.

Lampard’s team lost 2-1 at home against top-of-the-table Burnley last time out. Haji Wright scored after five minutes before Coventry conceded in each half.

Coventry Injuries

Goalkeeper Oliver Dovin is ruled out due to injury.

Portsmouth Form

Portsmouth are four points above the Championship’s relegation zone in 17th place. Pompey have lost four of their last six league fixtures, with three defeats coming on the road.

John Mousinho’s outfit beat Leeds 1-0 at home before losing 2-1 against Plymouth and Preston. The south coast team replied with a 1-0 home triumph over Blackburn.

Pompey’s patchy form continued on Saturday with a 2-1 defeat at Millwall. Portsmouth trailed 1-0 and Andre Dozzell equalised in the 80th minute before Millwall scored a late winner.

Portsmouth Injuries

Midfielders Callum Lang, Paddy Lane, Hayden Matthews and Conor Shaughnessy are injured.

Defenders Ibane Bowat and Jacob Farrell are also sidelined with injuries.

Verdict

Coventry v Portsmouth

Coventry have brushed aside some strong Championship opponents at home recently. Portsmouth have one of the worst away records in the division and a home win is the best bet.
