📰 Team News: Watford

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the sole fitness concern for the Watford manager Valérien Ismaël to be concerned with from an otherwise complete set of players. Kwadwo Baah (Hamstring injury) is out of contention.

In our view, The Hornets could use a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Daniel Bachmann, Ryan Andrews, Ryan Porteous, Wesley Hoedt, Jamal Lewis, Ismaël Koné, Tom Dele-Bashiru, Emmanuel Dennis, Yaser Asprilla, Giorgi Chakvetadze and Mileta Rajovic.

📋 Team News: Coventry City

In an otherwise full-strength group, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Coventry City boss Mark Robins to contend with. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (Back injury) won’t be in action.

From our viewpoint, The Sky Blues will likely make use of a 3-5-2 lineup, starting the game with Brad Collins, Bobby Thomas, Joel Latibeaudiere, Liam Kitching, Josh Eccles, Liam Kelly, Victor Torp, Kasey Palmer, Jake Bidwell, Ellis Simms and Haji Wright.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Coventry City and Watford might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.

A draw is a real possibility, as a clear-cut winner doesn’t appear to be obvious. We’re therefore tipping a 0-0 draw at full-time.
