Recent form

Sunderland

Sunderland have been in impressive form recently, maintaining their position at the top of the Championship with 30 points from 14 games. The Black Cats are currently enjoying a seven-match unbeaten run, which includes three consecutive victories against Oxford United, Luton Town, and Hull City. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, having kept four clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding only 0.5 goals per game during this period. While not particularly high-scoring, Sunderland have been efficient, netting 1.17 goals per game in their last six outings. The team's ability to grind out results is evident in their recent record, with three draws complementing their three wins. The 2-2 draw against Leeds United stands out as the highest-scoring game in this stretch, showcasing Sunderland's resilience against tough opposition.

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown inconsistent form in their recent matches, with their last six games producing a mixed bag of results. Despite sitting in 17th position in the Championship, the Sky Blues have demonstrated their attacking prowess, scoring an impressive nine goals in their last six outings, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Notably, they've been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with 67% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their 3-0 away victory against Middlesbrough stands out as a particularly impressive result, showcasing their potential on their day. However, defensively, Coventry have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six games. The team's ability to score and concede has led to both teams finding the net in two-thirds of their recent matches, providing entertaining football for spectators but highlighting areas for improvement in their defensive organisation.

Recent home/away form

Sunderland

Sunderland have been in formidable form at home, currently boasting an impressive five-match winning streak at the Stadium of Light. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with the Black Cats keeping clean sheets in all five of these victories. The standout performance came against Sheffield Wednesday, where Sunderland put on a goal-scoring clinic, thrashing their opponents 4-0. Over their last six home games, Sunderland have scored 12 goals whilst conceding just two, both of which came in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Leeds United. This resilient home form has undoubtedly contributed to their current position at the top of the Championship table, with the team averaging 2 goals per game at home whilst maintaining a miserly 0.33 goals conceded per game.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with their latest victory against Middlesbrough breaking a four-game winless streak on the road. The Sky Blues have shown resilience in their travels, securing draws in three of their last six away matches. Notably, their 3-0 win at Middlesbrough stands out as a high-scoring game and their only clean sheet in this run. Coventry have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just six goals in their last six away games, with half of those coming in the Middlesbrough match. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game, although the 3-0 defeat at Leeds United was a significant blip. The team's away performances have been characterised by tight encounters, with 67% of these matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals scored.
