Coventry City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Coventry City have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games.

Coventry are returning here after visiting Wycombe Wanderers in a Championship game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Liam Kelly (2) scored the goal(s). In the match before that, Coventry hosted Luton Town and drew the game 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Coventry have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found twelve matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost three.

The manager M. Robins will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sheffield Wednesday in only three days.

Coventry City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. On the other hand, Coventry have conceded 13 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Huddersfield Town form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Huddersfield Town, who have the most conceded goals (19) away in Championship, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-5 (win-draw-lose). Huddersfield Town has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Huddersfield lost away at AFC Bournemouth (0-5) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against AFC Bournemouth was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Huddersfield Town playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Huddersfield Town wins, four draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Huddersfield are hosting Watford in the Championship only three days away.

The visiting Huddersfield have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Huddersfield have conceded 19 goals in these games.
