Coventry City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Coventry City have managed 7 wins, 6 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 18 games.

Coventry are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Luton Town. Ahead of that match, Coventry City won a home game hosting Derby County (1-0).

Coventry could not believe their lack of luck in the Luton Town match, as they hit the posts four times in the 0-2 defeat.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Coventry City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn one and lost zero.

Coventry are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 18 games. Coventry City's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Wycombe Wanderers form and stats

There's been little loot from Wycombe Wanderers's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 18 away games in the Championship. Wycombe Wanderers, who have the fewest scored goals (25) in Championship, only have 2 wins to counter their 13 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on G. Ainsworth, the Wycombe Wanderers manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Wanderers's previous game was their home loss versus Barnsley (1-3). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Preston North End.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Wanderers playing away, we found six games. Results were two away wins, three draws and one home win.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Wanderers as they have only managed to score 13 times from 18 away games in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Wanderers manager G. Ainsworth has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Wycombe Wanderers - Coventry 1-2.
