Coventry vs Newcastle predictions
Newcastle to win – 2.05 – Coventry were widely tipped for relegation before a ball was kicked this season and they’ve done little since to prove the naysayers wrong. A return of four defeats from five assignments and a haul of just one goal scored has already highlighted the lack of Premier League quality in Frank Lampard’s squad.
Newcastle meanwhile, have lost only once in five league games under summer hire Matthias Jaissle. They’ve scored nine top-flight goals to Coventry’s one, and have hit 2+ goals in five of their seven domestic tests overall. Newcastle’s superior class in the final third should tell in the Midlands.
Back Newcastle to win against Coventry with Virgin Bet South Africa
Newcastle most cards – 2.10 – The Magpies have been playing with plenty of aggression under Jaissle’s instruction so far this term, and only three clubs have collected more yellow cards than Newcastle (12) since the start of the new campaign.
In contrast, this tepid Coventry outfit have earned fewer yellow cards than anyone else (4), and just one of those bookings was picked up in City’s first two matches at the CBS Arena. A more forceful Newcastle can dominate the card count here.

Odds – 17:00 – Place bet on Virgin Bet South Africa
Yoane Wissa over 1.5 fouls (2.45) — Wissa’s incessant work rate makes him a real handful, though his duelling with defenders also tends to generate plenty of fouls. In fact, the Congolese international ranks first at Newcastle for total fouls committed (10) and fouls drawn (12) in the Premier League this season. The 30-year-old also gave four free kicks away in the Magpies’ last away test at Leeds.
Milan Van Ewijk over 1.5 fouls (2.70) — Frank Lampard said the right-wing-back should be fit enough to feature on Monday and the defender is backed to commit at least two fouls on his return to action. The Dutchman have been averaging just 1.0 foul per 90 minutes in the league this term, however, on Monday, he could be marking flying Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes, who has been drawing 2.00 fouls p/90.
Joe Willock over 1.5 shots (1.55) — The attacking midfielder has been averaging 3.15 shots per 90 minutes for Newcastle in the Premier League this season and he’s had more attempts in total (10) than any other Magpies player. Willock has played seven times in league and cup overall since the summer and he failed to beat a target of 2+ shots in only one of those outings.
Bobby Thomas over 0.5 shots (1.36)— Coventry’s centre-half is like a magnet in the box during attacking set pieces and remarkably, Thomas has had more shots (10) than any other City player since the club’s promotion. The 25-year-old has registered at least one attempt in four of his five Premier League starts since the start of August.
