Preston North End vs Coventry City Prediction
Preston North End were top of the table a few weeks ago but have tailed off and fallen out of the playoff spots in recent weeks. Ryan Lowe's side have been plagued by an inability to get the better of teams above them in the table, while an ongoing seven-game winless run has not helped matters.
However, the Lilywhites have a strong record against Coventry City. Mark Robins' side made the playoff final last season but has started the current campaign poorly. However, there might not be cause for concern yet, as they sat in an identical 20th position at this same stage last season en route to their appearance at Wembley.
We are backing Preston to snap their seven-game winless run with a narrow win and clean sheet.
