Team News

Coventry
Oxford
  • Ben Sheaf and Raphael Rodrigues both remain sidelined for the visit of Oxford United on Friday evening.
  • Mark Robins could make two changes to the starting XI that faced Stoke on the opening day with Liam Kitching and Haji Wright coming in for starts.
  • Des Buckingham may hand a full league debut to Crystal Palace loanee Malcolm Ebiowei, replacing Przemyslaw Placheta on the left.
  • Owen Dale and Will Goodwin are both confirmed absentees for Oxford United this weekend.

Prediction

  • Coventry clocked just one shot on target during their 1-0 opening-day defeat to Stoke last weekend.
  • The Sky Blues responded well in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night though, with Ellis Simms' second-half strike proving enough to see off Championship rivals Bristol City.
  • Oxford United looked sharp and organised during their first game back in the second tier with goals from Mark Harris and Cameron Brannagan sealing a dominant 2-0 home win against Norwich.
  • A similarly impressive 2-0 midweek Carabao Cup win against Peterborough means that the feeling in the away camp is a positive one.

  • Haji Wright +150 / Ellis Simms +150 TSA

  • @KingKeno Brace for The American

  • X2

  • this is too hard to predict and 1.62 seems very short for the home win

  • Coventry have conceded in 11 of their last 12 home championship games.

  • Oxford surprised us all on the opener. Would think a poor starting Coventry will see a change of fortune here. A hard fought 2-1 home win
