Current streaks

Recent form

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing both strengths and areas for improvement. The Potters have won four out of their last six matches, demonstrating a positive trend despite their mid-table position in the league. Notably, their goal-scoring prowess has been impressive, netting 11 goals in these six games, averaging 1.83 goals per match. Defensively, Stoke has been solid, conceding only 3 goals (0.5 per game) and keeping 3 clean sheets. The team experienced a particularly high-scoring game against Cork City, winning 5-0, which highlights their attacking potential. However, their consistency remains a concern, as they've alternated between wins and losses in their last four matches. The even split between games with under and over 2.5 goals suggests a varied playing style, adapting to different opponents. While Stoke's recent form shows promise, their 17th position in the league indicates there's still room for improvement as they look to climb the table.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with no clear winning or losing streak evident. Their last six games have resulted in 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, indicating inconsistent performances. The team has been relatively productive in front of goal, scoring 8 times in these matches, averaging 1.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've conceded 7 goals, slightly less than their scoring rate. Notably, their 3-0 victory over Everton in a friendly stands out as a high-scoring game and an impressive result against Premier League opposition. The team has managed to keep two clean sheets in this period, but has also struggled to keep opponents from scoring in two-thirds of these matches. With 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals, Coventry City's recent fixtures have tended to be relatively high-scoring affairs, providing entertainment for spectators.

Recent home/away form

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent home form presents an interesting mix of results. After a disappointing 3-0 loss to Norwich, the team showed resilience by securing two consecutive draws against Huddersfield Town and West Brom. They then hit a strong patch, recording back-to-back wins with impressive scorelines: a 3-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle and a convincing 4-0 thrashing of Bristol City. These two high-scoring games stand out, demonstrating Stoke's attacking potential at home. However, their most recent home fixture, albeit a friendly, ended in a narrow 1-0 loss to AZ Alkmaar. While there isn't a significant run of wins or losses, the team's ability to bounce back from the Norwich defeat and their subsequent goal-scoring form in Championship matches suggests they can be formidable at home when in form.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent away form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last six games on the road. Their defensive performances have been mixed, securing two clean sheets but also conceding 8 goals across these matches, resulting in a negative goal difference of -4. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just 4 goals in 6 games, averaging 0.67 goals per game. Notably, they experienced a brief run of two consecutive losses in Championship matches against Southampton and Birmingham City, with the latter being a particularly heavy 3-0 defeat. Their most recent away victory came in a friendly against Stevenage, where they scored 3 goals, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this stretch. The split between under and over 2.5 goals per game is even at 50%, suggesting a balance between tight contests and more open affairs in their away fixtures.
