Sunderland vs Coventry Prediction & Tips
The second leg between Sunderland and Coventry in the Championship playoffs promises thrills and spills. The first meeting at the Coventry Stadium offered intrigue, tension and a dramatic outcome. The Black Cats managed an away win, playing mostly on the counter-attack.
Midway through the second half, both sides exchanged quick goals, and when it looked like a draw was the most logical outcome, a gross error by the home side resulted in the decisive goal: visiting striker Eliizer Maenda punished a lack of concentration and gave his side a vital win.
Coventry have already shown they can overcome adversity. When Lampard took over, the club were 17th, just two points above relegation. Finishing the regular season in fifth place and qualifying for the playoffs after that start is already an achievement. But now there is something much bigger at stake: a ticket to the Premier League.
