Coventry City vs. Newcastle United Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under for Premier League – Monday, October 12

Newcastle enters Monday’s match as road favorites vs. Coventry City, returning a 2.12x payout if they win, via PrizePicks.

Meanwhile, Coventry City will hope to get the upset at home, with their 3.12x payout to win outright. PrizePicks has a 3.33x payout for a draw.

PrizePicks data is live at the time of writing and is subject to change.

Coventry City are back in the Premier League for the first time in 25 years, and it took a while to become reacclimated to the league. They not only lost each of their first four matches, but they also failed to score a single goal in that span.

A 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest just before the international break saw them finally enjoy a bit of success, but Frank Lampard’s side still enters the final day of Matchday 6 second-bottom in the table ahead of Fulham.

Their minus-9 goal differential has them behind Tottenham and Bournemouth despite being level on points.

LM Jay Dasilva leads the club in scoring with their only goal so far in the Premier League. They are struggling to find a scoring threat without injured American ST Haji Wright, who led the side with 17 goals last season in the EFL Championship.

They'll be happy to get RB Milan van Ewijk back from injury, although it remains to be seen if he'll start this soon. ST Taiwo Awoniyi will miss out as he serves the last of a three-match ban after his red card against Brighton. 

Newcastle have had a solid start to the campaign despite quite a few players being sold in the summer and others dealing with injuries. They’ve already picked up a draw against Liverpool, although their 4-1 defeat at Leeds raised some eyebrows.

They picked up 3 points away at Hull via a 2-1 victory before the break, scoring twice in the opening seven minutes. LM Harvey Barnes assisted both strikes; he's one of the few players who remains from last season’s attack.

His first assist set up CM Joe Willock, whose 2 goals lead the club this season. Newly signed ST Matias Fernandez-Pardo is still seeking his first goal for the club, while LB Lewis Hall has emerged as one of the best fullbacks in the Premier League.

Newcastle could be without multiple key players. CM Joelinton, CB Dan Burn, CM Jacob Ramsey, and RB Valentino Livramento are all questionable. One player who isn’t is RW Anthony Elanga, who is still not back from his injury.
