Sheffield Wednesday vs Coventry prediction 26.01.2024

• Competition: FA Cup
• Date: 26th January 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Hillsborough

Sheffield Wednesday is hoping to prevent a repeat of last season’s fourth-round FA Cup elimination when they play against Coventry City on Friday night.

This season, celebrations have been few and far between for the hosts in the English second division as they currently occupy one of the bottom two positions. However, their performance in the third round of the FA Cup brought some cheer to their fans. The team, led by Danny Röhl, recorded their most significant win of the season with a 4-0 triumph over Cardiff City. They are undoubtedly looking to replicate this performance in their upcoming match.

Currently, Coventry is not far from their 2022-23 Championship season position. They are now sixth in the table with 43 points from 28 games, and have advanced this far by defeating Oxford Utd 6-2 in the third round. Their last appearance beyond the FA Cup fourth round was in 2017-18. However, their recent success against Sheffield, with three victories in their last three encounters, boosts their confidence in reaching the fifth round this season.

Coventry City should not be discounted in terms of goal scoring. Mark Robins’ team has managed to score at least one goal in their last thirteen games, and at least two goals in their last seven games. They’ve also had at least four goals in four of their last five matches.
