1.70Tip and bets
We don't think this match will be productive. Both teams don't have star forwards and have to rely mainly on defense. The duel between direct competitors will probably be a closed game without many scoring chances. We think this game won't give us many goals, so we suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on total
Let give preference to the hosts in this match. Derby County have not won for several matches, but Coventry City, on the contrary, are on the rise and are planning to win their third victory in a row. We believe that the Citizens will be able to earn three points in a tough fight at home.
Second bet - Coventry City win with odds of 1.75

Coventry have won the first half in all four of their last head-to-head encounters. They will certainly be looking to gain an advantage as quickly as possible at home, and it is quite possible that today the Citizens will go into the break leading.
