A nice win for Coventry last time playing, versus Wigan Athletic. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Gyökeres and Hamer scoring for the victors.

Hamer scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 54 successful passes (of 67 total).
Before that match, a win away at Watford.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
