Coventry City vs Bournemouth Prediction
Coventry City are on a run of back-to-back wins. They have, however, won just one of their last five home league games and will be looking to improve their home form starting on Monday.
Bournemouth are winless and goalless in their last three games. They last went on a barren run this long between April and May last year. They are winless in their last two away games and may have to settle for a point next week.
Prediction: Coventry City 1-1 Bournemouth
