Coventry City vs. Newcastle United Predictions

• When: Monday, October 12, 9:00 PM CET

Monday Night Football, only English, brings together Coventry and Newcastle. This game closes the EPL Gameweek 6 and is set for prime time. Newcastle plays solid football, despite all the roster changes they had during the summer. Meanwhile, Coventry has just one win in the EPL so far, and needs to do better.

Coventry City vs. Newcastle United Preview

Coventry City

The newcomers to the EPL finally won a game. They went on to beat Nottingham 0-1 on the road and break the ice. This wasn’t just their first league win, but also their first goal, and Coventry still needs to do much better to stay in the Premiership.

We have to agree that the schedule wasn’t in their favor, as the Sky Blues already faced Arsenal, Manchester City, and Brighton. Defense is the primary survival tool for Lampard and the boys, yet without a proper attack this unit can’t avoid relegation.

Lampard has a modest squad at his disposal, lacking creativity in midfield and sharpness upfront. Most of Coventry’s chances come from set pieces or individual moments of brilliance.

Newcastle United

We will be realistic and admit that Newcastle plays way better than we expected. Only one loss in the EPL so far is a major success for Matthias Jaissle and his boys. The young manager brought new ideas and also reverted to the style of play this team used a few seasons ago. The Magpies rely on lethal transitions, quick counter-attacks, and a strong defense behind the ball.

Newcastle’s matches include a high number of goals, and 5 of the 7 played so far have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals. They would score twice or more in the same number of events.

It seems that playing without pressure suits the Magpies, who are in the process of a partial rebuild. They are a nasty team that punishes every mistake and goes under the radar for many.
