It's back home for Swansea City, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Cardiff City away with the result 3-2. Piroe, Cabango and Cullen found the net in that victory. Swansea City enjoyed their 3-2 win against Cardiff City and the result could have been even better, as they hit the posts three times. Cabango, defender, was given a rating of 7.83/10 in that game, top of the team. Cabango scored one goal and won 4 of 9 duels.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Bristol City in a game that was won 2-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Swansea perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Swansea City as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Swansea City has won 6 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.

There will be little rest for Swansea City after this match as they are travelling to Wigan Athletic for a Championship game in only three days.

Coventry City form and stats

6 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Coventry City playing as the away team in the Championship this season.

The manager Robins was unhappy after their last game, played at their home venue The Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry City suffered a 0-4 loss to Stoke City (placed 13th). Until that loss this team had won at least a draw from nine league matches in a row. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Stoke City was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Blackpool with the score of 4-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Coventry playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 1 Coventry City win, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Coventry City are hosting Watford in the Championship only three days away.

Coventry City have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 19 league away games 23 goals have been scored. Coventry have conceded 20 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Swansea City have won at least one point in the last 11 games (6-5-0) against Coventry City.
