Coventry vs Maidstone Prediction & Match Preview

• Maidstone United conceded 38 shots in the previous round’s clash against Ipswich Town.
• Coventry are unbeaten in eleven consecutive home matches across competitions.
• The Sky Blues bagged ten goals in the previous two home games in the FA Cup.

Maidstone will continue their FA Cup fairytale on Monday evening with the trip to The Coventry Building Society Arena. They take on Championship playoffs hopefuls Coventry City in the fifth round of the competition. FA Cup always delivers some shocking stories and this season’s one is certainly reserved for Maidstone United.

You don’t see a sixth-division outfit reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup that often. Nevertheless, Maidstone United made it count by eliminating another Championship outfit Ipswich Town with a 2-1 victory in the previous round. With all due respect to them and the magnificent job they’ve done so far in the campaign, it is very hard to expect them to advance past the in-form Coventry City side.

Coventry have been on a phenomenal spell of form lately. They joined the battle for the promotional playoff with a run of seven wins in the previous eleven Championship affairs. They dispatched Stoke City 1-0 on the road last Saturday, allowing the Potters just a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of action on the occasion.

Coventry vs Maidstone Prediction

Maidstone’s win at Ipswich Town was labelled as a huge sensation. It was one indeed as Ipswich completely dominated the happenings on the pitch throughout the whole match. The Stones notched two goals from their lone two attempts in the 90 minutes of action. On the other side, Ipswich fired 38 shots, 13 of which went on target. The Tractor Boys accumulated an xG higher than 5.00 but somehow managed to score only once on the occasion.

Furthermore, Maidstone will come into this on a low after claiming just one point from the previous two matches in the National League North. The gulf in quality between these rivals is huge and we can’t expect anything other than a comprehensive victory for the Sky Blues. We’ll back Coventry to win by three or more goals difference at the odds of 2.00.

The braver tipsters can alternatively back two or more goals in the first half at the 1.80 odds. We expect Coventry City to finish the job by the half-time break on Monday. The Sky Blues are unbeaten in the last eleven home outings across competitions. They notched ten goals in the previous two home outings in the FA Cup, beating Oxford United and Sheffield Wednesday in the process.
