Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-0 home win against Birmingham City. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Birmingham City who had 13 attempts and 6 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 5 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.
They've been performing well at Coventry Building Society Arena of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 5 draws in 10 home league games.
Goalscorer Haji Wright will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Coventry City.
Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 1-1 draw against Watford. They achieved 60% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Watford's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Russell Martin will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 8 goals. Of the 18 games they have played away from home this season, they have scored in 9 of them, but they've conceded at least one goal in 16 of their 20 games both home and away.
There will be mixed feelings from The Saints, having been undefeated in their last 6 away league games, but drawn the last 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Adam Armstrong will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Southampton's last 6 league games.
The last time these two teams met Southampton enforced their superiority over Coventry City with a comfortable 4-0 win.
In the past 7 away matches at Coventry in the league, The Saints have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. The Sky Blues have struggled to keep Southampton at bay when these two teams have met at Coventry Building Society Arena, during the last 3 times they have hosted Southampton in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Southampton has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Coventry in 3 games.
There is only really one injury concern for the Coventry manager Mark Robins ahead of this clash, with Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon) missing out, which gives Robins a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Russell Martin has a number of injury concerns in his Southampton squad to contend with: Juan Larios (Unknown), Will Smallbone (Muscle), Jack Stephens (Calf), Ross Stewart (Muscle) and Kamaldeen Sulemana (Hamstring)
