Coventry City, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Coventry City players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Leicester City. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Leicester City who had 20 attempts and 7 on target.
Mark Robins will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 5 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at Coventry Building Society Arena and recording 3 wins in that same period.
On an individual basis, Gustavo Hamer will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Coventry City's last 6 league games.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormLosing 1-0 home to Millwall won't leave the Middlesbrough squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. They achieved 68% possession in that match and had 16 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Michael Carrick will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 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 have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Chuba Akpom will be hoping to create problems for Coventry City in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Middlesbrough.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Boro defence has struggled at Coventry Building Society Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits.

With only Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Robins will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Anfernee Dijksteel (Unknown) and Tommy Smith (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Michael Carrick will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
