Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Blackburn Rovers. They came away from that fixture with 34% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Blackburn Rovers managed 14 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 11 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 9, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 9 of their 10 games this season.
They have been performing well at Coventry Building Society Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 8 home games.
On an individual basis, Matt Godden will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Coventry City's 10 league games this season.
Norwich City, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Swansea City will not have sat easily with the Norwich City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They achieved 45% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Swansea City's tally of 23 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss David Wagner will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 7 goals they scored. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 9 of their 10 games this season.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
Josh Sargent has scored 4 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Coventry City.
It was not a positive ending for Coventry City last time they met Norwich City in the league, with the game ending in a 2-4 defeat.
The Coventry defence has struggled against The Canaries in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 7 games. Norwich have a good attacking record away to The Sky Blues in the league, having scored a total of 8 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.67 goals per game.
Norwich has won the last 3 games they've played against Coventry in the league.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Groin), Ben Sheaf (Groin), Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon) and Milan van Ewijk (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
David Wagner has a number of injury concerns in his Norwich squad to contend with: Ashley Barnes (Leg), Grant Hanley (Achilles tendon), Marcelino Núñez (Ankle), Josh Sargent (Ligament) and Jacob Sørensen (Groin)
