Competition: Championship

Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 8/11 @ BetUS

Seeking an immediate Championship response in midweek, Coventry will welcome Sheffield United to the Midlands on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, watching their sensational purple patch come to an abrupt end over the weekend as they eventually fell to a pulsating 3-2 loss away at Wrexham, Coventry are seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, still leading the chase at the top of the Championship standings, Frank Lampard’s camp have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the country. Widely regarded as a standout promotion contender this season, the former Everton boss will be calling on an immediate response in midweek. Signing off October with a 3-1 victory at home against Watford, the Sky Blues have won each of their other six Championship appearances. In fact, Coventry have suffered just a single second-tier defeat since opening up the 2025/26 campaign. Despite failing to record a clean sheet in their previous three outings, Lampard’s side have failed a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third. Already notched a staggering 36 Championship goals, Tuesday’s hosts will be confident of making another promotion statement here.

As for the visitors, while Chris Wilder might have made yet another shock return to Bramall Lane back in September, Sheffield United have find themselves at the heart of a public Championship crisis. Last seen over the weekend putting in another worrying performance as they slumped to a 3-1 loss at home against Derby, the Blades are scrapping it out at the foot of the table and they open Tuesday’s showdown sat in the relegation zone. Signing off October with an action-packed 3-2 defeat away at Preston, the midweek guests have put just nine points on the board from any of their first 13 appearances and they have broken plenty of unwanted records. Lightyears away from mounting any kind of play-off charge, Sheffield United could have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their Championship status. Heading into October’s fortnight interval with a 1-0 defeat against Hull, Wilder’s struggling squad have remarkably lost 11 of their first 14 showdowns across all competitions.
