Coventry U21 vs Sheffield Utd U21 tips and predictions

Coventry U21 price could be too big for this clash

Common sense suggests that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals. But that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

It's easy to write off Coventry U21 but the price of the visiting team is just too short to back.

Coventry U21 will take anything they can from Sheffield Utd U21's recent results. The last 8 fixtures have not all gone well for the away squad; they've lost 3 of them. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this.

And although they are expected to pull out a result against Coventry U21 they're certainly not a shoe-in and a home win could be a fair shout.

Coventry U21 are going to have to produce something out of this world. While probably not enough to change the result of the match, the hosts have posted some good numbers. This home squad is in some form on their own patch. They scored three or more goals in 6 of their recent 19 home matches coupled with some solid defending. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 7 home games.

There have been periods when Sheffield Utd U21 have lost their shape and they have lacked the right stuff near their 18-yard line. They have conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 8 matches. And the home side's defenders will be desperately looking for evidence that they don't need to prepare for mayhem. At times the visitors have been stuttering in front of goal. They've been goalless in 1 of their last 3 away matches.

Most previews are saying that both sides can score despite the vehement favouritism for Sheffield Utd U21. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that seems the better option this time around.
