Coventry City form and stats

7 victories, 7 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Coventry City have to build on here at St. Andrew's Stadium in the Championship.

Coventry haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 349 minutes ago. M. Biamou scored that one.

Coventry are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Queens Park Rangers. In the match before that, Coventry City hosted Wycombe Wanderers and drew the game 0-0.

Coventry's goalkeeper Marko Maroši was extremely busy against Queens Park Rangers, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Coventry have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won six times, drawn two and lost zero.

Coventry are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 19 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 19 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Bristol City form and stats

Bristol have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 284 minutes ago. C. O'Dowda was the goal scorer.

The manager N. Pearson was unhappy after their last game, a Championship match played at their home ground Ashton Gate Stadium. Bristol suffered a 0-2 loss to Stoke City (placed 11th). A 0-2 loss hosting Rotherham United before that.

We have checked recent matches where Bristol have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 15 games were eight victories, two draws and five defeats.

Bristol have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 19 league away games 24 goals have been scored. 28 goals have been conceded by Bristol in these games. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
