Current streaks

Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form shows a positive trajectory, with the team currently on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions (WDWW). This streak includes two consecutive victories in the League Cup, demonstrating their cup prowess. Despite a slow start with back-to-back losses, including a friendly against Werder Bremen, the Sky Blues have rebounded well. Their league position of 9th with 4 points from 3 games suggests a solid start to the Championship campaign. Defensively, Coventry has been strong, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding an average of just one goal per game. The clash against Oxford United in the Championship stands out as a high-scoring affair, ending 3-2 in Coventry's favor. Interestingly, 67% of their recent games have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters.

Norwich

Norwich City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 20th position in the Championship after a challenging start to the season. In their last six matches across all competitions, they've managed just one win, alongside two draws and three losses. Their defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 15 goals in these games (2.5 per match) and failing to keep a single clean sheet. However, their matches have been high-scoring affairs, with an average of 3.83 total goals per game and 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. The team's most notable result was a thrilling 4-3 victory over Stevenage in the League Cup, showcasing their offensive capabilities. Conversely, their most recent match ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat to Crystal Palace in the same competition, highlighting their inconsistency and defensive vulnerabilities.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with the team showing signs of improvement after a challenging end to the previous season. The Sky Blues have won their last two home games, scoring four goals in the process, which indicates a positive trend. Notably, their most recent match against Oxford United in the League Cup saw them keep a clean sheet, following a high-scoring 3-2 victory against the same opponent in the Championship. The team's ability to score is evident, with 83% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals, and an impressive average of 1.67 goals scored per game. However, their defensive record is a concern, conceding in 67% of these matches. The 3-0 friendly win against Everton stands out as a particularly impressive result, showcasing Coventry's potential against higher-level opposition.

Norwich

Norwich's recent away form has been concerning, with a notable downward trend. Their last six away games have resulted in only one win, two draws, and three losses, including a current run of two consecutive defeats. The team has struggled defensively, conceding 12 goals in these six matches, with an average of 2 goals conceded per game. Particularly worrying was their recent 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the League Cup, which stands out as a high-scoring game. Their attacking output has also been limited, scoring just 6 goals in these 6 away games. The fact that 67% of these matches have seen over 2.5 goals suggests that Norwich's away games tend to be high-scoring affairs, often not in their favor given their negative goal difference of -6.
