Coventry vs Burnley Analysis
Coventry
Coventry had their wings clipped in convincing fashion by Sheffield United (1-3) last time out, though Frank Lampard’s Sky Blues are still handily placed in fifth position and are firmly in the playoff equation.
City have won four games on the spin on home soil, but remain underdogs on betting apps for football despite that winning sequence ahead of what should be a tough test against Burnley.
Coventry will look to in-form striker Haji Wright for inspiration against the Clarets. The American striker has scored seven times in his last ten appearances and bagged a hattrick against Sunderland in City’s last home game.
Team news: Liam Kitching and Brandon Thomas-Asante are out injured for Coventry and will miss Saturday’s game.
Predicted Lineup: Dovin, Van Ewij, Thomas, Binks, Bidwell, Grimes, Allen, Sakamoto, Torp, Mason-Clark, Wright
Burnley
Despite dropping only two of the last 15 points on offer, Burnley are still back in third spot behind Sheffield United and Leeds in the Championship’s three-way battle for title glory.
The Clarets beat Bristol City in typically efficient fashion in their last outing, scoring only once while keeping their 28th clean sheet of the campaign in the league.
Championship betting sites have listed Burnley as favourites to win again on Saturday and having won eight and drawn four of their last 12 away fixtures, their favourites tag is well-earned.
Team news: Burnley will be without the injured Enock Agyei, Bashir Humphreys, Mike Tresor, Jordan Beyer and Jonjo Shelvey this weekend.
Predicted Lineup: Trafford, Roberts, Egan-Riley, Esteve, Pires, Edwards, Cullen, Laurent, Anthony, Brownhill, Flemming

Coventry vs Burnley Prediction
Coventry are in the midst of a hot streak at home, however, Burnley’s backline is close to unbreachable and the Clarets can use their rock-solid defence as a platform for success again here.
Burnley have won eight of their last 12 away games in the Championship and six of those victories were accompanied by clean sheets. Burnley have won seven of their last nine league games (both home and away) since the start of February, so side with Scott Parker’s winning machine here.

Coventry vs Burnley – The Ultimate Bet:
Under 2.5 goals – 8/13 (-163)
Burnley have been remarkably watertight at the back in the Championship this season, keeping clean sheets in an incredible 28 of their first 39 league fixtures of the 2024/25 campaign.
The Clarets earned one of those 28 shutouts when they beat Coventry 2-0 in November’s reverse fixture between the clubs and they have the defensive nous to keep City off the scoresheet again on Saturday.
Burnley have conceded just one goal in their last eight away games combined in the Championship and with that outstanding record a factor, bettors are advised to back both teams not to score at The Coventry Building Society Arena.
