Wolves vs Coventry Prediction & Match Preview

• Wolves won four of the previous five matches across competitions.
• Ten of Coventry’s last eleven games in all competitions produced three or more goals.
• Wolverhampton have eliminated the likes of Brentford, West Brom, and Brighton on the way to the FA Cup quarterfinals.

Wolves host Coventry in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday afternoon at Molineux Stadium. The hosts have already eliminated two Premier League outfits en route to this phase. Coventry had much more luck with the early draw as they had to beat the likes of Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, and Maidstone United to reach the final eight.

Wolverhampton will come into this in high spirits. They’ve managed four wins in the last five outings across competitions. The most recent success came last weekend in a 2-1 victory over Fulham in the 28th round of Premier League. Gary O’Neil’s men hold the 9th position in the top-flight standings.

Coventry celebrated an important 2-1 road win over Watford seven days ago. The victory at Vicarage Road helped them keep ground on Norwich and Hull City in the battle for the top-six finish in the Championship. The Sky Blues currently sit one point below these two outfits.

Recent Meetings

• It’s been exactly a decade since these two teams last locked horns in a competitive game. Back then, they played two separate 1-1 draws in their clashes in League One.
• Wolves claimed a 2-1 road win over Coventry in a preseason friendly in August 2021.
• Both teams were on target in each of the previous six head-to-head outings.

Wolves vs Coventry Prediction

Wolves have managed four wins in the last five games in all competitions. We must consider them clear favourites to dispatch a lower-division rival on the home patch. Coventry will also come into the tie on a high after two straight wins in the Championship.

However, Mark Robins’ men have not been properly tested in the FA Cup and the top-flight opposition might have too much for them on Saturday. The home win is the main betting pick at the 1.61 odds.

Coventry have played attacking-minded football under Mark Robins of late. Ten of the previous eleven matches the Sky Blues played in all competitions provided at least three goals. Wolves conceded 23 shots in the home match against Fulham seven days ago.

We would not be surprised to see Coventry scoring on Saturday. The Over 2.5 goals FT pick looks like a solid betting option at the 1.80 odds.
