Adam Drury's best bets for Coventry vs Portsmouth

Written by: Adam Drury

Coventry take on Portsmouth on Wednesday in a massive game at the top and bottom of the Championship in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

Adam Drury picks out a 23/10 single and 16/1 bet builder for the match.

Thomas shots makes for a tasty single

Bobby Thomas has been firing off loads of shots in recent weeks and looks a fantastic bet to continue that trend at the prices.

The centre-back has managed at least two efforts in five of his last six matches and has had three shots in all of his last three home matches.

He took five last time out against Burnley, so a couple more against Portsmouth is perfectly possible.

Pompey have conceded the fourth-most shots in the league from set-pieces, which will boost his chances further and I really like the 23/10 on offer about 2+ shots here.

Recommended bet - Bobby Thomas to have 2+ shots (23/10) – 1pt @ Unibet

Bet Builder for Coventry vs Portsmouth 

Leg #1 - Coventry to win

Coventry have lost their last two matches to Sheffield United and Burnley but can bounce back with a win here against much more lowly opposition.

Frank Lampard’s side had won six of their seven games previous to those defeats, including four straight victories.

Portsmouth have lost 11 of their last 12 away games, a dreadful record that seems unlikely to end against in-form hosts.

Leg #2 - Haji Wright to score

Haji Wright has been back among the goals since returning from injury last month, scoring in both of Coventry’s last two home games.

That included a hat-trick to see off Sunderland, before another strike against Burnley on Saturday.

He ranks 11th in the league for shots per game and can add to his goals tally here.

Leg #3 - Bobby Thomas to take 1+ shot

We’ll play this even safer in the bet builder, adding Thomas to take just one shot in the match.

This bet has won in nine of his last 11 appearances and cruised in most times in recent weeks.

Leg #4 - Andre Dozzell to be carded

Dozzell has been carded nine times this season, six of which have come away from home.

The midfielder has committed a foul in 11 of his last 13 matches, including two or more in seven of those games.

The last three visitors to the CBS Arena have seen a midfielder player booked, giving this one every chance.

Recommended bet - Coventry to win, Haji Wright to score, Bobby Thomas to take 1+ shot and Andre Dozzell to be carded (16/1) – 0.5pts @ Unibet
