The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Wednesday's Championship clash between Coventry City and Preston North End, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Coventry City 0-1 Preston North End

Even with a dangerous strike force, it is difficult to predict Coventry breaking down a Preston defence which has been impenetrable thus far, so Wednesday's game may more be a matter of whether the Lilywhites can end their dismal attacking form. Given the hosts' slow start to the season, we see Lowe's men creating enough to find a decisive goal and leave with all three points. Read more.
