Current streaks

Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown a marked improvement in their recent form, with two consecutive wins lifting them to 13th in the Championship table. The Sky Blues have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with four of their last six matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 11 goals in their last six games, averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per match. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding only six goals in this period and keeping two clean sheets. Their most recent outing was particularly noteworthy, as they secured a convincing 3-0 away victory against Middlesbrough, demonstrating their ability to perform well on the road. Despite a brief dip in form with back-to-back losses earlier in the month, Coventry have bounced back strongly, suggesting they could be a team to watch as they aim to climb further up the table.

Derby County

Derby County's recent form has been characterised by inconsistency and a struggle to find decisive results. The Rams have managed just one victory in their last six outings, a 2-0 home win against Queens Park Rangers. What stands out is their propensity for draws, with three consecutive 1-1 stalemates against Millwall, Oxford United, and Hull City. This run of draws has contributed to their mid-table position of 14th in the Championship. Derby's defence has been relatively solid, conceding just over a goal per game on average, but their attacking output has been modest, netting only six times in the last six matches. The team's tendency towards low-scoring affairs is evident, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite this, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, suggesting Derby are often involved in closely contested encounters.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find a consistent rhythm at their own ground. The Sky Blues have endured a concerning run of three consecutive home defeats, which was only recently broken by their 3-2 victory over Luton Town. Despite their mixed results, Coventry's matches have been entertaining affairs, with 83% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. The team have shown a propensity for high-scoring encounters, particularly evident in their 3-2 win against Luton and their 3-0 triumph over Blackburn Rovers. However, their defensive record has been a cause for concern, with only one clean sheet in their last six home fixtures. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, suggesting that while Coventry City have been finding the net regularly, they've also been vulnerable at the back.

Derby County

Derby County's recent away form has been underwhelming, with the Rams failing to secure a victory in their last six matches on the road. They have endured a particularly difficult spell, managing only three draws and suffering three defeats. The team's offensive struggles are evident, with Derby netting just three goals in these six away fixtures, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, they have been somewhat more solid, conceding 1.17 goals per match, but have only kept one clean sheet during this period. Low-scoring affairs have been a trend, with 83% of these games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Interestingly, Derby have drawn three of their last four away matches in the Championship, suggesting they are proving difficult to beat but struggling to find that winning edge on their travels.
