An important duel in the bottom section of the Championship, with both Coventry City and Sheffield Wednesday experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 23rd place.
- Coventry City has the most conceded goals in the second half (25) in Championship
- Sheffield Wednesday has the fewest scored goals (15) in Championship
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a FA Cup game only three days ago. That game, against Everton, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Sheffield Wednesday.
Coventry City form and stats
When playing at home in the Championship, Coventry City have managed 4 wins, 5 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 11 games. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at St. Andrew's Stadium, but a victory now would be sweet for Coventry City.
No payout for Coventry in their previous match, an away game at Reading that ended in defeat 0-3. A FA Cup defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Norwich City.
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.
