Plymouth take on the visitors Coventry in the round 32 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 14th at Home Park (Plymouth).
Plymouth Argyle looks pretty good for a newcomer. The Pilgrims have been around for almost 140 years. They've come close to success in the cup several times, reaching at least the semifinals a few times and the quarterfinals a couple more. But they are essentially newcomers to the Championship. In the previous cycle, the Green Army managed to win League 1 and has been performing quite well at a higher level. The team won in the opening round, and since mid-December, they have hardly lost anywhere. However, last week didn't go as planned. They first lost to Leeds 4-1 in the cup, and then conceded one goal less to Sunderland, losing 1-3.

Coventry City fell short of returning to the Premier League by just one penalty kick a little over half a year ago. The Sky Blues were once a stalwart of the elite English football division. But their loss of position in the Premier League led to a drop all the way down to League 2 a couple of years ago. However, they made a leap back up, finishing fifth in the spring of 2023. Moreover, they reached the playoff final, only to lose to Luton in a penalty shootout, 5-6. Now they are trying to repeat that, aiming to finish in the top four again. However, they didn't have a great mid-winter period, losing to Norwich and going to a replay against Sheffield Wednesday - but they won that 4-1. They also defeated Millwall, but by a slimmer margin, just 2-1.
Before this season, the teams played in 2018/2019, in League 1, and exchanged victories. In November, Coventry City narrowly won at home. The visitors will be the favorites here, but Plymouth Argyle have been doing well this season. You can bet that the match will end with a total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
