Coventry City vs Milton Keynes Dons
A draw in the FA Cup makes Coventry must compete in the replay party. The problem is expected not to make them lose focus when appearing in Week 25 of League 1. They will face MK Dons on Saturday (11/1) at St Andrew’s Stadium.
Coventry diving third round draw at home to Bristol Rovers and played the series 2-2 Sunday (5/1) then. They still regretted the results because they actually performed better with 6 shots on target from 16 trials, while the hosts only replied 3 times from 8 kicks. Then, Wednesday (1/15) they must compete again to fight for the passes.
Meanwhile, MK Dons was confirmed dead in the third round of the Johnstones Paint Trophy competition because of a fall at home to Newport Country. They went there on Wednesday (8/1) only to be crushed with a score of 3-0.
Failure that also makes their morale increasingly fall ahead of the visit tomorrow. Because the away record in league competition is so bad with 1 win, 2 draws and 8 defeats. They have also conceded 18 times and only scored 11 goals after drawing 2-2 at home to Southend on Boxing Day.
A record as bad as that would only invite disaster at St Andrew’s. Therefore, last weekend’s draw at least still maintain the record of unbeaten host since the winning streak over Lincoln City (1-0), Wycombe (1-4), and Tranmere (1-4).
Coventry’s motivation increased because early last December they were forced to surrender with a score of 2-0 when they travel to MK Dons headquarters in the second round of the Johnstone Cup. So, tomorrow’s match is the best chance because the rivals are sinking, even now landing just above the red zone, while Coventry is competing in the top 3 with a difference of one runner-up. So, victory this weekend will be a perfect revenge.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
