Coventry City, Recent FormThe Coventry City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sheffield United recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. They came away from that fixture with 55% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Sheffield United managed 8 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. When playing at home this season, Coventry City has notched up a tally of 6 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
It has been a solid run of home form of late, having gone undefeated in 5 of their last 6 matches at home and clocking up 4 wins along the way.
Having scored 6 goals in his last 6 league games for Coventry City, Viktor Gyökeres will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cardiff City, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against Queens Park Rangers will be viewed as a positive outcome for Cardiff City and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 0 of which were on target. Queens Park Rangers had 10 shots on goal with 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Mark Hudson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 7 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 11 this season, Hudson will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
They've drawn their last 3 games, but their search for a win in a league game extends even further with 5 consecutive games without a win.
Callum Robinson will be hoping to create problems for Coventry City in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cardiff City.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-1 win for Coventry City.
Coventry have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Bluebirds in each of their previous 2 meetings at Coventry Building Society Arena. The Bluebirds have let in at least one goal in each of their last 5 league matches at Coventry Building Society Arena against Coventry.
Cardiff have lost the last 2 times they've have visited Coventry in the league and have failed to win any of their last 3 encounters at Coventry Building Society Arena.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Matt Godden (Ankle), Marcel Hilßner (Knee), Kyle McFadzean (Calf) and Tyler Walker (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Cardiff manager Mark Hudson ahead of this clash, with Isaak Davies (Knee) missing out, which gives Hudson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
