Reason For Coventry vs Swansea City Predictions
Swansea favourites to take maximum points
- Swansea have won six of their last nine Championship games.
- Coventry have lost three of their first five league matches this term.
- The hosts have conceded nine goals in five outings this season, including five in their two home games.
Newly promoted Coventry have shipped nine goals in their first five Championship starts, and the Sky Blues’ defensive frailties could hurt them again when they welcome Swansea to St Andrews on Tuesday evening.
Despite a decent first half effort against Brentford on Saturday, Mark Robins’ side were scythed open twice early in the second period and their backline is looking vulnerable after conceding three to Bournemouth on their penultimate outing.
With three defeats now on the board, City should be feeling the pinch after being given the run-around at Griffin Park and Swansea look poised to strike.
Steve Cooper’s side were surprisingly turned over 1-2 by Huddersfield Town at the weekend, but it was a game they dominated and deserved more from. Naivety ultimately cost the Welsh outfit there, and it’s important to remember that they accrued ten points from four games prior to Saturday’s fixture.
Swansea will be keen to hit back immediately at St Andrews and the visitors are extremely well-priced for the win if we take Saturday’s slip-up out of the equation. Cooper’s side have the tools to expose the hosts’ flimsy rear-guard after netting five goals in their last three matches, so we’re also tipping a 1-3 correct score.

Are they even allowed out of Wales? Should be piss easy if not. 25 - 1 to us I reckon. Sheaf to score an own goal just to wind the fuck out of us.
Shit that starts on Friday ennit?
I'd take itIf they're not allowed out of Wales 1-0 to us.
First half goal if we kick off second half goal if they do.
Get into them early doors!!
We had more space as we suddenly had 3 midfielders to move them about and we started to push the wing backs on. Given that Brentford lost 4-2 from a winning position in the previous game, the talk of them letting their foot off the gas seems off to me.
From the Swansea forum - and the consensus seems to be along these lines re: their forward Ayew
Wayne Rooney is in a similar position but he's not being allowed to play for 11 days I think.
He visited a mate who tested positive, Rooney himself then got tested which came back negative, but he still has to self isolate. Very surprised Coventry aren't jumping all over this.
They point out that Ayew is likely to have shared room/aeroplane/ coach space with his brother and been in proximity to a load of Ghana players who have tested positive. he has obviously since been involved with the Swansea team last Saturday - some are suggesting they may have to field a load of U23s. Obviously you wish individuals and their families all well regarding health, but surely CCFC should be all over whether he and any associates can be allowed to play (certainly don't see how he can - and surely a load of the others should have to self isolate)
I guess we’ll see. I’m concerned that other than the first game we’ve hardly looked like ourselves at all this year. Options closed off, passes astray under pressure.
Surely if we start that they’ll claim the same with Tyler Walker?
I agree with this. As with most things there's hyperbole and panic everywhere. We're five games in and we're not in the bottom three. This was the concern with people suggesting 'we'll be in the running for the playoffs' before a ball had been kicked. It's very easy to get sucked into the negative spiral. I would be lying if I wasn't concerned by just how far off the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford we were. That said, I didn't expect anything from the game so I'm not sure if that says more about my illogical thinking and unintended dramatization of what actually happened. It's easy to just say 'I don't know where the next point will come from', or 'I can't see us competing with the top sides which means we won't get enough points to stay up' but this is football and anything can happen, and we should all know that five games doesn't define our season one way or another.But we knew that it'd be like this, we dominated a lot of games last season and we knew that wouldn't be the case this.
I take it you didn't see the QPR game, particularly the first goal?
We've made decent use of the ball in spells in games, I think everybody needs to relax a little. We have played 3 of the current top 6, all 3 of whom are likely to remain in and around the top 6 all season.

Rooney had tested negative but still has to self isolate - he is pissed as is my Derby supporting neighbour - will see this more and more but I think the protocol is set hence Walker isolating and I guess the rest of the team were tested negative
Kelly will come in for baka We need the 2 holding playersWatched them few games ago against Wycombe, They looked decent everything went through Gibbs White ( whos injured) big plus.
We shouldnt be fearing them, as many have said need to be positive and give it a good go! Lets ruffle some feathers! The players we have are good enough to compete. As they have shown in patches in every games.
Would take a draw, but reckon its gonna be a very tight defeat. But the performance will be encouraging.
Players need to believe. When we play as a team we can be more than a match for anyone.
Team selection is important. Sit in on this game.
MaCallum for Pask, and Shipley for Baka.
Need a point tonight to stop the rot. I think I’d try 3412:
Maroši
Rose McFadz Hyam
McCallum Sheaf Kelly Giles
O’Hare
Baka Godden
Swap Baka and Godden over from last match, have him and Giles pushing the line for a ball over the top when we’re playing out, Godden deeper.
If we keep that formation that's also what I'd do. Having Kelly or not could be instrumental in that because if you've got one of Shipley or Allen next to Sheaf at times it can be like Sheaf is playing that DCM role alone.
Other option if Kelly is unavailable is to maybe try Pask there as he did play it at West Ham and could be more suited than Allen or Shipley. Ideally kelly is fit, we have a comfortable lead and we can take him off for a rest and give Pask a go in that position. Likelihood of that occurring are up there with lottery wins and asteroid strikes though.
I just worry we get so compressed with Godden up front on his own. We need to find a way to give us space to play. Ideally it’s be Walker and Godden but COVID. I think having the flat three of Allen Sheaf and O’Hare didn’t work last game so hoping two DMs sorts that out a bit.
