This could be an absorbing match with lots of fun and bustle as both participants are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's start!
Coventry City form and stats
Last season, Coventry City's FA Cup journey ended in the 3rd round.The total Championship statistics playing at home this season for Coventry City are 7-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Coventry's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Millwall. Defender Hyam got the top score of the team in the match with a rating of 7.33/10. Hyam won 13 of 20 duels.
A 1-1 draw away in the Championship before that, with Huddersfield Town the opponent.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's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won zero matches, drawn two and lost zero.
A decent goal production from Coventry City in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 12 league matches. From these home matches, Coventry have conceded only 11 goals.
Derby County form and stats

County has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Reading for a Championship game that ended a draw (2-2). The match against Reading looked like a defeat for County, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. Davies equalized in the 90th minute. Midfield player Bird was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.33/10. Bird served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 66 successful passes (of 71 total).
