Sheffield United vs Coventry City Betting Tips
This game brings together two of the league's in-form teams in what promises to be an intriguing clash in Yorkshire.
Title-chasing Sheffield United have won seven of their last 10 matches, with Chris Wilder's side now tied on 80 points with Championship leaders Leeds. So, if they avoid defeat on Friday they will leapfrog the Whites at the summit.
A fantastic run under manager Frank Lampard has seen Coventry City surge into the play-off picture. The Sky Blues have won 10 of their last 12 games, lifting them to 5th place, ahead of the likes of West Brom, Bristol City, and Middlesbrough.
With both sides eager to maintain their respective promotion pushes, it's a draw at 23/10 with Betway that stands out here.
Using Betway's new Bet Builder feature, we've put together three bets for the game to create a 4/1 treble.
First, we’re backing both teams to score, which has occurred in five of Sheffield United's last six matches and four of Coventry’s last six.
Next, we’ve chosen Haji Amir Wright to find the back of the net at Bramall Lane. Wright scored a hat-trick in Coventry's impressive 3-0 win over Sunderland before the international break, bringing his tally to seven goals in his last seven starts. He also has four more league goals than any of his teammates this season, despite being sidelined from November to early March.
Lastly, we’re backing a shot on target for Sheffield United’s Tyrese Kai Campbell, who has had at least one SOT in five of his last seven games.
