Coventry vs Sunderland prediction Sunderland were on a bit of a run at the start of the season, looking briefly like going clear at the top of the table with a solid unbeaten streak. However, as time has gone on especially in the latter stages and run-in they’ve gone on a horrible streak, now sitting 24 points behind Leeds and Burnley in first and second and as much as 14 points adrift of third placed Sheffield United. They now face Coventry who are seven points behind them, but given their five defeats in succession it’s hard to envision them being confident enough going into these semi-final legs. Coventry vs Sunderland betting tips Sunderland haven’t won since the 5th April, when coming out 1-0 victors over West Brom, following another 1-0 win over Millwall. They lost to Coventry 3-0 before that though and coming into this clash it seems they could be outgunned again. In that clash Coventry had as many as 21 attempts on goal and Sunderland were almost lucky that only five hit the target. Haji Wright scored a hattrick with two goals inside thirty minutes and another in the 73rd to seal the three goals. Sunderland only had one shot on target and struggled to get on terms with Coventry, and they will be going for it again.
