Leeds United vs Coventry City Prediction and Betting Tips | December 16th 2023

Leeds United will host Coventry City at Elland Road on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.

The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are pushing for an immediate return to the Premier League. They were, however, beaten 1-0 by Sunderland in their last game and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.

Coventry City are playing well at the moment after a slow start to their season and have steadily climbed up the league table. They played out a 1-1 draw against Southampton last time out, with Haji Wright opening the scoring early after the restart before their opponents leveled the scores midway through the half.

The visitors sit 14th in the Championship standings with 26 points from 21 games. They will be looking to continue their encouraging form when they play this weekend.
