Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Sky Blues have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly their 3-2 victory over Luton Town and their 3-0 away win against Middlesbrough, demonstrating their attacking prowess. Notably, Coventry have been prolific in front of goal, scoring an average of 1.67 goals per game, whilst their defence has been relatively solid, conceding 1.33 goals per match. The team's matches have tended to be goal-rich affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Despite their current 17th position in the Championship table, Coventry's positive goal difference and ability to score freely suggest they may have the potential to climb the league if they can maintain their attacking form and tighten up defensively.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown impressive form recently, embarking on a four-match winning streak in the Championship that has propelled them to second place in the league table. Their defensive prowess is particularly noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last six matches and a miserly 0.67 goals conceded per game. The Blades have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Their latest victory in the Sheffield derby against local rivals Sheffield Wednesday will have boosted morale, although their overall goal-scoring record of 1.17 goals per game suggests there may be room for improvement in attack. Despite two consecutive losses prior to their winning run, Sheffield United's current form indicates they are strong contenders for promotion.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Sky Blues struggling to string together consecutive positive results at their own ground. The team have lost three of their last four home matches in the Championship, including back-to-back defeats against Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday. However, their home games have been consistently entertaining, with all six recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in 83% of them. The standout result was a 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers, which also marked their only clean sheet in this run. Despite their mixed form, Coventry have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly the 3-2 win against Luton Town, showcasing their ability to both score and concede goals regularly at home.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with a notable improvement in their last two outings. The Blades have secured three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six away matches, demonstrating resilience on the road. Impressively, they have kept three clean sheets during this period, conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. Their most recent away performances have been particularly strong, with back-to-back 2-0 victories against Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City, indicating a potential upturn in their away form. However, it's worth noting that 83% of their away matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, low-scoring affairs when playing away from home. Despite the occasional setback, Sheffield United's away form has contributed significantly to their current second-place position in the Championship, with 31 points from 15 games overall.
