Coventry City vs Manchester United prediction and betting tips on April 21, 2024
Game Prediction
Football returns to Wembley this weekend. The finalists of the national cup will be determined on a neutral field there. On Sunday, Coventry City and Manchester United will play their head-to-head match. Will the nominal hosts be able to surprise? A prediction for an important game on April 21, 2024 is available to the audience of the website.
Coventry City is spending a good season again
“The Sky Blues”, who were considered one of the regulars of the Premier League at the end of the previous century, dropped to the League Two a couple of years ago. At the same time, they rose sharply from the fourth division of the country. It is reasonable to mention that the team failed to return to the Premier League only because of the loss to Luton in the play-off final on penalties a year ago. This time, the club formally has a chance to reach the top 6 of the Championship, but the gap is still large. One way or another, Mark Robins’ wards performed well in the cup tournament. At first, they were lucky with the draw and the previous round brought Wolverhampton – the rival was also beaten.
Manchester United will try to brighten up the disappointment of the current draw
“The Red Devils” played in both cup finals in the previous cycle and, that is the most important, ten Hag lifted them to 3rd place in the Premier League. Nowadays, everything is much more pessimistic: a 0-3 defeat made by Newcastle at Old Trafford in the League Cup back in the autumn, last place in the Champions League group, a noticeable decline in the Premier League, where the chances of a place in the top quartet had been practically lost by the spring. So, a 2-2 score in the struggle with Bournemouth is not surprising. As a result, the cup tournament is the last chance to please the fans. Moreover, the team managed to eliminate one of their most important rivals, Liverpool, in the quarter-finals. Diallo put an end to the spectacular and unpredictable match with “the Reds” in the 120th+ minutes of the game.
Previous head-to-head matches
The opponents met only once after “the Sky Blues'” relegation from the Premier League – that happened in the League Cup in 2007. Then Manchester United lost at the home arena – 0-2.
