Coventry City form and stats

Coventry City have been very solid at home in the Championship so far, with 19 points collected from 7 matches (6-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 4th position in the table.

Happy days for Coventry in their previous game, a Championship match away at Hull City (placed 22nd) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Simon Moore, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.71 out of 10 in that game. Moore stopped the opponent with four saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that, Coventry City drew at home versus Derby County.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Coventry City handle that role? We have found seven games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are six wins, one draw and zero defeats.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Coventry, as the Championship home game vs Bristol City is only four days away.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (15 in 7 games), Coventry's attacking play is working. Coventry City are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ricoh Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 7 matches.

Swansea City form and stats

Swansea City have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Championship, after 1-2-4 (7 played).

The supporters enjoyed Swansea's previous game versus Peterborough United (placed 20th), a Championship 3-0 win played at home. Swansea delivered their win in the match against Peterborough United already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance! Joël Piroe, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.34. Piroe scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Birmingham City wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

We have checked recent matches where Swansea have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eleven games were zero victories, five draws and six defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Swansea now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at AFC Bournemouth is waiting in only four days.

Swansea City are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). Swansea's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

Last eight meetings featuring these squads: Coventry City won zero, Swansea City triumphed in four and we saw four draws. one game with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with under 2,5 goals.
