Coventry City have fought quite a few losing battles for points this season. Can the team get some sugar when Sheffield United come to visit The Coventry Building Society Arena?
- Coventry City have the fewest scored goals in the second half (3) in Championship
- Sheffield United have the most scored goals in the second half (13) in Championship
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Coventry City and Sheffield United.
Coventry City form and stats
Coventry City have played three Championship home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
A good away victory last time out for Coventry City, who won 1-0 against Cardiff City (placed 17th). McFadzean was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.8 out of 10. The defender McFadzean won 3 of 4 duels.
Preceding that match was the home game against Burnley that was lost 0-1."Both teams to score yes/no" info: This club have finished 5 league rounds in a row with only one (or none) club scoring.
There will be little rest for Coventry after this match as they are travelling to Stoke City for a Championship game in only three days.
The lack of attacking qualities in Coventry City means that they have only scored {1 goals} in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. From these home matches, Coventry City have conceded only 2 goals.
Sheffield United form and stats
Playing away, Sheffield United have won 3 games, drawn 2 and suffered 2 defeats in the Championship this season.
Sheffield delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Blackpool (placed 19th) in their previous fixture. It looked so good for Sheffield United vs Blackpool, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. Midfield player Norwood was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.5/10. Norwood scored one goal and hit three key passes.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Stoke City wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.After this away game Sheffield return home for a Championship game against Norwich City. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sheffield United have scored 9 goals in 7 league games away.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Coventry City four wins, two draws and Sheffield United four victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
