MATCH PREVIEW:
The Championship side, Coventry takes on Northampton in their EFL Cup Round 1 match on Thursday as both sides look to continue their good start.
Coventry and Northampton won their opening fixtures of the Championship and League 2 respectively and will want to keep the start intact in this knockout match.
Robins’ men picked up a 2-1 home win over Forest with Gyokeres and McFadzean scoring in the last 10 minutes to complete the comeback after Taylor opened the scoring for Forest.
This was their 1st win after three successive losses in pre-season against Cheltenham, Mansfield and Wolves
On the other hand, Northampton won their opening match 1-0 vs Port Vale with Ashley-Seal scoring the winner in the 1st half itself.
Brady’s side won successive matches after their win against Birmingham in pre-season.

Coventry does not have good form coming into this clash with 1 win in last 4 matches.
We expect Northampton to pick the surprise win due to their better form and consistency in front of goal.
