Wycombe Wanderers vs Coventry City Prediction

Wycombe Wanderers did well to get promoted from League One last season, and manager Gareth Ainsworth has impressed on a consistent basis. While they sit 23rd in the league table, the Blues, with their limited budget, have generally given a good account of themselves.

Coventry City, on the other hand, have some good players in their ranks. Centre-back Leo Ostigard, on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, has looked good. Tyler Walker and Maxime Biamou have led the line well for Mark Robins' side.

Coventry City should be able to emerge victorious, even though Wycombe Wanderers have shown that they are no pushovers.

Prediction: Wycombe Wanderers 0-1 Coventry City
