Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Sky Blues have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with five of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Their attacking prowess is evident, having netted 11 times in this period, averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 10 goals at an average of 1.67 per match. Notably, Coventry secured a convincing 3-0 away victory against Middlesbrough, which was their only clean sheet in this run. The team's entertaining style is further highlighted by the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of these matches, contributing to a high total goals average of 3.5 per game. Despite their mid-table position, Coventry City have shown they can be a formidable attacking force, particularly in their 3-2 home win against Luton Town.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been concerning, with the Bluebirds currently languishing in 21st position in the Championship. Their last six matches have yielded just one win, two draws, and three losses, highlighting their struggles. The team's goal-scoring form has been particularly poor, netting only four times in these six games, averaging a meagre 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, Cardiff have also been vulnerable, conceding eight goals in this period and keeping just one clean sheet in their last five outings. The 3-1 home defeat to Blackburn Rovers stands out as a particularly disappointing result, while the goalless draw against West Brom represents their only clean sheet in recent weeks. With 67% of their last six matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Cardiff City are struggling to provide entertainment for their fans, and their current form suggests they may face a relegation battle if improvements aren't made swiftly.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the Sky Blues struggling to string together consecutive positive results. In their last six home matches, they have managed two wins, one draw, and three losses, highlighting their difficulties in establishing a fortress at their own ground. Notably, all of these games have been high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals scored in 100% of the matches and both teams finding the net in 83% of them. The team's defensive frailties are evident, as they have conceded in five out of six games, managing only one clean sheet. However, their attacking prowess is worth mentioning, with an impressive average of 1.83 goals scored per game. The standout result in this run was their convincing 3-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers, which represents their only clean sheet and largest margin of victory in this period.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have struggled to find form away from home in their recent fixtures, failing to secure a single victory in their last six away matches. The Bluebirds have managed to draw three of these games, but have also suffered three defeats. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly poor, netting only 0.5 goals per game on average, while conceding 1.33 goals per match. A concerning trend for Cardiff is their three-match losing streak earlier in the sequence, which was halted by a series of draws. The most notable result in this run was a heavy 4-1 defeat to Hull City, standing out as the highest-scoring game amongst these fixtures. Cardiff's defensive record shows some resilience, with 83% of their away matches seeing under 2.5 goals and one clean sheet achieved. However, their overall away form remains a significant concern, contributing to their low league position of 21st in the Championship.
