FA Cup, played Saturday, March 16th, 2024
Here is our Wolves v Coventry tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Wolves home win. Our confidence in this pick was low relative to other picks.
Wolves bounced back from their previous heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Newcastle United last weekend in the Premier League when the west midlands outfit registered a welcome return to winning ways with a 2-1 home win against Fulham at Molineux, while Coventry City picked up a second win on the trot in the Championship last Saturday with a 2-1 win on the road at Watford, so both teams will be in confident mood heading into this midlands clash at Saturday lunchtime.
Wolves have picked up four wins out of their last five games in all competitions and with home advantage behind them this Saturday, the hosts will be keen to build upon recent impressive wins against the likes of Tottenham, Sheffield United and Brighton when they welcome Championship visitors Coventry City to Molineux for this FA Cup Quarter-Final.
The bigger picture shows Wolves have been handed just three defeats out of their last 15 matches in all competitions while Gary O'Neil's side have also collected no fewer than 10 wins in the process as well.
Wolves have accounted for Brentford, West Brom and Brighton on their way through to the final eight teams of this season's FA Cup.
Coventry City are once again battling for a place in the play-offs in the Championship as the visitors sit in eighth place but just a point behind the current sixth placed incumbents, Norwich City, following last week's impressive 2-1 win away from home against Watford at Vicarage Road.
The Sky Blues' attention will now turn to this upcoming quarter-final in the FA Cup on Saturday lunchtime as Mark Robins' side make the relatively short trip to Molineux to take on their Premier League counterparts but nevertheless, the visitors will also be in confident mood as they have posted recent back-to-back wins against Rotherham United 5-0 and the aforementioned 2-1 win at Watford.
Coventry City have made themselves a tough team to beat once again this season as the visitors have been handed just three defeats out of their last 22 matches in all competitions, picking up 13 wins along the way, so they'll feel they have nothing to lose and everything to gain in this FA Cup clash.
The Sky Blues have accounted for the likes of Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday and Maidstone United on their way to the quarter-final stage of this season's FA Cup.
Wolves v Coventry City Verdict
The form-book generally gets tossed out of the window when it comes to the FA Cup but Wolves look to possess the edge here in terms of quality in the final third and we are backing the Premier League hosts to progress through to the semi-finals with a win here.
Therefore, our main bet will be Wolves win @ 1.66
Other side bets worth considering:
BTTS Yes @ 1.80
Correct Score: Wolves 2-1 @ 8.50
