Coventry Set To Frustrate Brighton Attack

Coventry remain without a point after their opening three fixtures and have failed to score in any of them. At home however they have limited opponents to one goal a game. Brighton travel without Mitoma Ferguson Hinshelwood and Minteh which weakens their forward line considerably. Head to head results show Coventry winning one of the last three encounters. Brighton score freely overall at 2.7 goals a game yet concede four away from home. This setup gives Coventry a platform to avoid defeat through solid defending and counter threats. The game may hinge on whether Brighton can break down a compact home side missing key defenders of their own.
