Coventry City and Newcastle United have met many times in the past, and Newcastle United have usually been the side with the better results, including a 4-1 win and several other victories. This time the context is different, because Coventry City have just picked up their first win of the season from a single goal and are propping themselves up near the bottom of the table. Coventry City have lost four of their five league games, scoring just one goal and conceding ten, but the 1-0 win last time out showed that the defence is starting to settle. Newcastle United, meanwhile, have won three of their last five in all competitions and signed off with a 2-1 win, a result that says they are still finding scoring chances consistently. This looks like a game where Newcastle United will have more of the ball and gradually squeeze Coventry City deeper into their own half. If the hosts hold firm like they did last time out, it could drag on into the closing stages, but if Coventry City's back line starts to crack under sustained pressure, Newcastle United have a chance to pull away before the end.
