Competition: Championship

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In what should prove to be another low-scoring contest in midweek, a struggling Derby will host Coventry from behind closed doors on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, only continuing on what has been a woeful start to the 2020/2021 campaign, Derby are firmly battling it out in a relegation battle. In their opening 14 Championship matchups this year, they have recorded just one win, four draws and nine defeats, scoring six and conceding 21 in return. Along with managing to collect a points tally of just seven and opening the midweek fixtures sat five points adrift of safety, it should be noted that the Whites hold the worst attacking record in the division so far this season. As for their recent run of results, Tuesday’s hosts have failed to win any of their last 10 championship contests on the bounce and have recorded just one point over their last five appearances. It should also be noted, 10 of Derby’s last 11 contests have finished with under 2.5 goals by the final whistle.

As for the visitors, while Coventry might have managed to find a route out of the drop zone, they have struggled to pick up maximum points since opening the New Year. In their 14 Championship contests so far this season, they have recorded just three wins, four draws and seven defeats, scoring 14 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 13, the Sky Blues open Tuesday’s fixtures sat in 20th and holding a three-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, while Coventry might be unbeaten in their last three Championship contests, they have managed to win just a pair of their last 12 second-tier matchups. It’s also worth highlighting, each of Coventry’s last three straight appearances have finished with under 2.5 goals by the final whistle.
