The visiting Coventry City side should be favourites in this visit to Tranmere Rovers, as the away team holds a 16 point advantage from their 22 league games this season.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Tranmere Rovers and Coventry City.

Coventry City form and stats

It's the second away game in a row for Coventry City, but there's smiles all around after the 4-1 victory versus Wycombe Wanderers (placed 1st) in the League One last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Lincoln City.
It's hard not to mention M. Godden's lethal finishing against Wycombe Wanderers. 3 goals was a big reason for the three points.
After this away game Coventry City return home for a League One game against Rotherham United. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Coventry City find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 14 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. Coventry City have conceded 16 goals in these games.
