Coventry City form and stats
4-5-2 (win-draw-lost) are the Championship numbers at home for Coventry City so far this season. The home fans are hungry for more even though Coventry have been steadily collecting points here at St. Andrew's Stadium through three straight draws.
No payout for Coventry in their previous match, an away game at Norwich City that ended in defeat 0-2. Before that match, a Championship win away at Millwall.
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 13 matches with the results: Won six, drawn four 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 Reading in only three days.

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Coventry City have conceded 13 in these home matches.
