Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 1-0 away win against Stoke City in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Stoke City, who had 13 shots on goal with 1 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 17 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
They have been performing well at Coventry Building Society Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 9 home games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Coventry City, Haji Wright will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Preston North End, Recent FormPreston North End manager Ryan Lowe will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Blackburn Rovers. In that game they recorded 63 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 6 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 11 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 28 of their 33 games overall.
With 3 matches lost and only 2 wins in their last 6 away matches lately, this has not been a great spell for the team away from home.
On an individual basis, Emil Riis has scored in each of Preston North End's last 2 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for Preston North End.
From their past 8 away matches in the league against Coventry, The Lilywhites have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. The Sky Blues have struggled for goals when Preston comes to visit Coventry Building Society Arena, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings. Playing at home, Coventry have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Preston.
In the past Preston have managed to keep their hosts in this away league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 9 games in a row.
With only Jamie Allen (Broken cheekbone) and Ben Sheaf (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Robins will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Ryan Lowe has a number of injury concerns in his Preston squad to contend with: Kian Best (Ankle), Duane Holmes (Sprained knee), Andrew Hughes (Knock), Brad Potts (Hamstring) and Ben Whiteman (Leg)
