Recent form

Preston

Preston's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting in 19th position in the Championship. In their last six games, they've managed one win, four draws, and one loss, demonstrating a tendency to share the points. The team has been relatively solid defensively, keeping three clean sheets and conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game.

Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. Despite their low league position, Preston's goal difference of +1 over these six games suggests they're competing closely in most matches.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 20th position in the Championship. They are experiencing a difficult run, having lost three consecutive league matches before a brief respite with a 3-0 victory against Blackburn Rovers. This win stands out as their only clean sheet in the last six games and their highest-scoring match during this period. The team's defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game, while their attack has been somewhat inconsistent, scoring 1.17 goals per game. Interestingly, 83% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs despite Coventry's struggles. The team's inability to keep clean sheets is further highlighted by the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of these games, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities that need addressing if they hope to climb up the league table.
