Coventry v Leeds

Two of the form sides in the Championship meet on Wednesday evening, as top of the last 5 games form table Coventry City host league leaders Leeds United.

As if this game needed any more appeal, Frank Lampard’s long-running feud with Leeds United fans given his association with Chelsea and ‘Spygate’ should add extra spice.

⭐ Coventry v Leeds Best Bet

Coventry’s opponents at the Coventry Building Society Arena this season have picked up the most cards on 9 out of 14 occasions. Since Lampard took charge, it is 4 out of 6, with the other 2 ties, with his side not receiving a single card in 3 of those 6 games.

Leeds United have been shown the most cards on the road 6 times out of 14, with 4 ties. They average 2 per game to Coventry’s 1.8. 

We fancy they might not have things all their own way in this game, and therefore frustration may creep in.

👕 Coventry v Leeds Predicted XI

🔍 Coventry v Leeds Players to Watch

⚪ Jayden Bogle

The Leeds United full-back Bogle has been shown 8 cards in the Championship this season, 2 more than any other player in the squad.

The interesting aspect of those 8 cards is that 7 of those were picked up away from Elland Road. He has started all 14 of Leeds away games this season, which means he has been booked 50% of the time. 

The bookmakers have him priced up at 10/3, which infers a 23% chance of being shown a card. We’re getting a value price that we cannot ignore.

🔵 Victor Torp

Danish midfielder Torp has 4 Championship goals to his name this season, 2 of which came last time in Coventry’s last home game against Watford.

He has taken 2 penalties this season with a 50% success rate, although it is to be seen whether he will remain on penalty duty after missing the last one.

He has started Coventry’s last 4 games, taking 9 shots in those 4. Given we fancy Coventry to cause Leeds some problems in this one, there looks to be a bit of value in Torp’s price.

💻 Coventry v Leeds Form and Tactics

Frank Lampard has made a good start to life as Coventry City boss, with his Sky Blues in good form having won their last 4 on the bounce. He is yet to taste defeat at home in the league from 6 games.

The Chelsea legend has stuck with Mark Robin's 3-5-2 system but has seemingly tightened things up at the back. Before his arrival, Coventry had conceded 1.6 goals per game at home, whilst since his arrival that has reduced to 0.7.

Leeds are the best side in the league under Daniel Farke, but they do tend to struggle a little more in games away from Elland Road. They have failed to pick up all 3 points on 9 occasions out of 14 on their travels.

Farke’s tactics are pretty set in stone, a 4-2-3-1 system with the two holding midfield players sitting deep and allowing full-backs Jayden Bogle and Junior Firpo to bomb forward down the flanks.
