Coventry vs Wrexham predictions

There’s only been two recent fixtures between these two sides, one in the FA Cup in 2023 and one in the reverse fixture in the Championship earlier this season.

Both finished with a tonne of goals and finished in typical Wrexham style where we’re so used to seeing plenty of late goals and drama.

In the Championship in October, Wrexham were 1-0 down until the 60th minute when Kieffer Moore scored the equaliser, quickly followed by a go-ahead goal before securing a hattrick.

Coventry scored a late consolation goal in the 88th minute to make the final few minutes a little bit tense, but the Welsh side held on to the lead.

Wrexham also claimed a big win in the FA Cup in 2023 beating Coventry 4-3 when they were a non-league side facing the Championship team a couple of years ago.

More from Moore?

Moore bagged a hattrick against Coventry earlier in the season which has proven to be even more impressive now they’ve gained promotion into the Premier League.

He is still making his way back into the team after recovering from a long hamstring injury.

But he’s appeared a couple of times as a substitute since, as the preferred starter has been striker Sam Smith.

But he did start in their clash against Birmingham, and could feature regardless against the Sky Blues in midfield or in place of Smith, due to his previous form.

As such he will be a key player in this clash and could make an impact for the play-off chasing side.

Wrexham losses a concern

Wrexham have surprisingly suffered some crucial losses recently losing to both Southampton (5-1) and Birmingham (2-0), before winning two on the bounce in their most recent games.

Coventry on the other hand drew three on the bounce before beating Portsmouth 5-1 on Tuesday night.

Their latest draw, 1-1 to Blackburn was enough to seal their promotion into the Premier League before confirming champion status.

They Sky Blues haven’t lost since March 14 when losing 2-1 to Southampton.

Wrexham’s saving grace could be that teams that have just secured promotion/championship don’t always win next time out – especially when teams enjoy plenty of celebrations.

The pressure is off for them while Wrexham are only just in the play-offs by the smallest of margins.

There’s been so many goals in this fixture before and it looked like that could be the way this game ends given the way these two teams can often score plenty this season, along with some late drama.
