Coventry vs Brighton Preview
Recent results
It has been a tough start to life in the Premier League for Coventry – who dominated the Championship last season. Lampard’s men lost to Arsenal (3-0), Hull (0-1) and Manchester City (1-0), though the performance at the Etihad merited at least a point. The Sky Blues did at least beat Plymouth 4-2 in the second round of the EFL Cup.
Brighton kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 4-0 thrashing of Aston Villa, before suffering a 4-3 loss at Chelsea. The Seagulls drew 1-1 with Leeds last weekend thanks to Luka Vuskovic’s second-half equaliser.
Head-to-head record
Coventry have won all three home matches against Brighton, the most recent a 2-0 victory in the 2011-12 Championship season.
But Brighton triumphed 3-1 at The Amex when the two sides last clashed in the 2017-18 FA Cup.
Team news
Coventry are missing some key players in Haji Wright, Kaine Kesler-Hayden and Luke Woolfenden. Summer signing Sidiki Cherif remains doubtful.
Brighton’s fitness situation is far from the best. Evan Ferguson, Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Jack Hinshelwood, Mats Wieffer, Stefanos Tzimas and Zadok Yohanna are all ruled out, while Georginio Rutter, Femi Azeez and Michael Svoboda rate as doubts.

*All odds are subject to change

Coventry vs Brighton Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.62
While Coventry are yet to score a goal, it feels only a matter of time before the scoreboard receives a welcome update. The Sky Blues generated six shots on target in the previous two games, three of them in the impressive display at the Etihad. And Brighton netted in all three top-flight outings thus far, with this selection landing in the last two.
First team to score – Coventry @ 2.38
Brighton conceded first and early in each of their previous two games vs Chelsea and Leeds. The Seagulls’ back-line was also peppered with nine shots on target in those contests combined, so backing a fast Coventry start rates as a sound pre-match selection.
Anytime goalscorer – Taiwo Awoniyi @ 3.30
Awoniyi is yet to get off the mark in Coventry colours, but it has not been through a lack of effort. The Nigerian striker has tallied five shots already in the Premier League this season, with two of them hitting the target. Could Sunday be when the stars finally align for Awoniyi? We reckon so.
