Last Game: Watford 0-1 Blackburn
Sunday, August 27 at 12pm in Championship

We said: Coventry City 1-0 Watford

Coventry are still adapting to life following the high-profile departures of Gyokeres and Hamer over the summer, although we feel that the Sky Blues should be good enough for a victory on Saturday.
