Game Prediction
The first trophy of the current season, the EFL Cup, has already been played in England. Well, it’s time for the quarter-final round of another tournament, the FA Cup, this weekend. Perhaps everything will begin with the least rated couple, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City. The favourite here is obvious, but will it cope with the guests? The editors of the website have published an individual prediction for the match on March 16, 2024.
Wolverhampton Wanderers looks clearly better than expected
“The Wolves” finished the previous season in the safe zone with a lot of difficulties and, as a result, avoided relegation. Still, many leading players were sold and the saviour coach, Lopetegui, left the club in the summer. The specialist, to be more precise, had escaped a week before the start. Perhaps, the higher mentioned event was even beneficial, because it is not known what would have happened under the leadership of Julen, and his successor, Gary O’Neil helped to get 40 points already by the spring, removing any questions about the risk of relegation. That didn’t stop the team from beating strong Fulham with a 2-1 score in the previous round. At the same time, it has already reached the quarter-finals in the cup tournament.
Coventry City is in a race to “chase two birds with one stone”
“The Sky Blues” began the current century as one of the longest-lived players in the Premier League. Still, then there was a decline, which at its peak, a decade ago, reached the League Two. Nevertheless, there was a sharp rise and the team was close enough to get into the Premier League in the previous cycle: Luton was better only in the protracted penalty shoot-out of the final battle. Nowadays, the club is also trying to gain a foothold in the top 6, although not everything is working out. At the same time, it was also successful in the cup tournament, however, there were “passable” opponents: Oxford, Sheffield Wednesday (who was overcome in a replay game) and Maidstone United at the 1/8 stage.
Previous head-to-head matches
