Current streaks

Recent form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been a mixed bag, with their last six games yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Pompey have struggled to find consistency, as evidenced by their 22nd position in the league table with 17 points from 19 games. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.33 goals per game, while conceding at the same rate. A notable aspect of their recent performances is the high-scoring nature of their matches, with 67% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. Portsmouth's most impressive result came in a 3-0 victory over Bristol City, showcasing their potential when firing on all cylinders. However, their most recent outing resulted in a heavy 4-0 defeat to Derby County, highlighting the team's vulnerability. Despite their struggles, Portsmouth have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six matches, which could be a positive sign for their defensive organisation moving forward.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency in their Championship campaign. The Sky Blues have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches, demonstrating their unpredictable nature. Interestingly, Coventry have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with three of their last six games featuring four or more goals. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game over this period, while their attack has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring just 1.17 goals per game. Despite their 15th position in the league, Coventry have shown resilience, bouncing back from defeats with wins in their last two victorious outings. The team's ability to score and concede has led to an entertaining average of 2.67 total goals per game, with half of their recent matches seeing both teams find the back of the net.

Recent home/away form

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent home form has shown signs of improvement, with the team currently on a three-match unbeaten run at Fratton Park. Whilst they have struggled in the Championship this season, sitting in 22nd position, their home performances have been relatively solid. The Pompey have kept three clean sheets in their last six home games, demonstrating a tightening of their defence. Interestingly, their goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with two high-scoring victories (3-0 against Bristol City and 3-1 against Preston) contrasting with three matches where they failed to find the net. Despite their league position, Portsmouth have managed to maintain a positive goal difference at home, scoring eight goals whilst conceding only four in their last six matches, suggesting they are more competitive on their own turf than their overall league standing might indicate.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches on the road. The Sky Blues have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring seven goals in these six games, but they've also been relatively solid defensively, conceding the same number. Their most impressive away performance came in a 3-0 victory against Middlesbrough, which stands out as their only high-scoring game in this run. Coventry have managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, demonstrating their ability to shut out opponents on their travels. However, their inability to string together consecutive away wins has likely contributed to their current 15th position in the Championship table. With 67% of their recent away matches featuring under 2.5 goals, Coventry's games on the road tend to be low-scoring affairs.
