I like the Coventry City team this year and think that their manager Aidy Boothroyd is one of the best in the division. If they can keep their best players fit, they could be one of the teams challenging for a playoff spot.
However, Portsmouth have still retained enough players to make the draw a real possibility in this match. Coventry is also missing a couple of key midfielders for this match, they still have Clingan and Carsley to play in the middle but Carsley is getting a bit old now and neither of them are as good as Gunnarsson.
Coventry's problem this season might be squad depth, they have a quality starting 11 and a very good manager but if they get a lot of injuries and suspensions, they might struggle in a few games.
I'd recommend taking Coventry on the pk line at -136, as insurance against the draw because Portsmouth can still field a very good Championship starting 11, at the moment. Steve Cotterill, the Portsmouth manager, is also one of the best managers in the division, he's a really intelligent guy and he'll make sure that Portsmouth are well organised and hard to break down. Cotterill is very good tactically.
