Prediction

  • Sunderland were unable to produce a response to Tommy Conway's first-half penalty last weekend as they were beaten 1-0 by Bristol City at Ashton Gate.
  • Former QPR and Rangers boss Mick Beale steps into the dugout for the first time this weekend as he looks to help the Black Cats back into the play-off places.
  • Coventry were behind for fewer than ten minutes last weekend after Bobby Thomas' goal cancelled out Crysencio Summerville's opener in a 1-1 draw at Elland Road.
  • Mark Robins' men are steadily climbing the table following a rocky start to the season, but away form remains an area of concern for the Sky Blues.
