Coventry vs Newcastle Match Summary

Coventry host Newcastle in the Premier League at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Monday night, with the Sky Blues stuck near the foot of the log and the Toon in mid-table.

Frank Lampard's side finally ended their wait for a top-flight goal and win at Nottingham Forest before the international break. Home goals and home points, though, are still missing.

Newcastle arrive in better heart after beating Hull last time out. Matthias Jaissle's side have eight points on the board and are chasing back-to-back league wins.

The head-to-head picture is one-sided: Newcastle have won on six of the seven most recent occasions these two have met in all competitions, a record the home side badly need to start rewriting.

Coventry vs Newcastle Form

Coventry sit 19th in the log and it has been hard going for Lampard's men. The breakthrough came at Nottingham Forest, where Jay Dasilva's strike secured a 1-0 win. They are strong in aerial duels and good at protecting a lead, but turning pressure into goals remains the big problem.

Newcastle sit 11th, and the start under Jaissle has been promising, with the only real blemish an off night at Leeds last month. Clinical finishing and quick counters are their calling cards, with Barnes and Jacob Murphy supplying the width behind Yoane Wissa, who leads the line.

Coventry

Frank Lampard hopes to have Milan van Ewijk, Luke Woolfenden, Josh Eccles and Kaine Kesler-Hayden all back, which would give the home side a far stronger look when the Coventry vs Newcastle lineups drop. Haji Wright isn't expected back until later this month, and Taiwo Awoniyi misses out while serving a three-match ban.

Newcastle

Tino Livramento misses out with the hamstring injury that ruled him out of the Hull game before the break. Amar Dedic (hamstring), Dan Burn (ankle), Ewen Jaouen, Anthony Elanga (hamstring), Will Osula (foot) and Jacob Ramsey (foot) all look set to sit this one out, though Joelinton, Lewis Miley and Nico González could all be involved. S. Steur and M. Fernandez-Pardo are also doubts despite featuring in the predicted XI.

Coventry vs Newcastle Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Newcastle get our vote. The Coventry vs Newcastle betting odds have the Toon at 6/5 with AK Bets, and that is a fair price for a side with sharper finishing and a quicker counter than a Coventry team that has been blunt in front of goal. The home side are not without hope, though. Their direct game and strength in the air target a Newcastle back line that is shaky in aerial duels and at set pieces, so Coventry can find the net. Even so, the away side carry the extra quality, and we back them to edge an open game in which both teams score.

Best Bets

Over 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Newcastle's recent games have gone over this line and the model projects a goal-friendly fixture. Newcastle have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 7 matches against Coventry in all competitions, and the goals have flowed in Newcastle's last 3 Premier League outings too, so a cagey, low-scoring night looks unlikely.

Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Both sides are expected to find the net. Coventry's finishing is far from sharp, but they will still create openings against a Newcastle side that struggles to stop opponents getting at them, especially with Tino Livramento out and Dan Burn a doubt. With the Toon carrying real punch at the other end, this one joins the goals line among our Coventry vs Newcastle best bets.

Coventry vs Newcastle Bet Builder

Our Coventry vs Newcastle bet builder tips combine Newcastle over 1.5 goals, Joe Willock over 1.5 shots, a Newcastle win and both teams to score.

Newcastle have found the net 2+ times in four of their past five Premier League matches, and Coventry's trouble defending counter-attacks plays straight into the away side's hands.

Joe Willock has attempted 2+ shots in 4 of his last 4 Premier League appearances. He gets forward from the engine room, and Newcastle like to try their luck from distance.

Coventry have lost 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches, and Newcastle's extra quality in front of goal makes the away win the anchor of this slip.

Both teams to score ties it together. Newcastle's injury-hit defence gives up openings, and Coventry's crosses can hurt them, while the Toon carry more than enough threat going forward.

Shop around before placing this one: the top combined quote on this four-leg slip comes in at 22/5, with some books offering as little as 4/1 for the same builder. Stake R10 and that gap is worth R4 in extra returns.

Coventry vs Newcastle Talking Points

The key battle is Newcastle's counter-attack against a Coventry side that struggles to defend the break. Wissa leads the line, with Barnes and Murphy ready to run at the home defence. Losing Anthony Elanga hurts the away side, though, as he has scored in 2 of his last 3 Premier League appearances. At the other end, Coventry's best route is wide: they attack down both flanks and love to put crosses in, which is exactly where Newcastle have looked vulnerable. Jaissle, who succeeded Eddie Howe ahead of the campaign, will also need Willock and S. Steur to protect the back four in the engine room, and that midfield control is at the heart of our Coventry vs Newcastle prediction.
