Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Sky Blues have struggled defensively, conceding 11 goals in these fixtures, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat to Portsmouth in their most recent outing. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, netting six times across the six games, averaging just one goal per match. Despite managing one clean sheet, Coventry's goal difference of -5 over this period highlights their defensive vulnerabilities. The team's position of 17th in the Championship table reflects their mixed performances, with their matches tending to be eventful as 50% have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Interestingly, both teams have scored in half of Coventry's recent matches, suggesting they're often involved in competitive encounters despite their struggles.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle are enduring a difficult run of form, having gone seven games without a win and finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the Championship table. Their defensive frailties are particularly concerning, with the team conceding a staggering 19 goals in their last six matches, including a 6-1 thrashing by Norwich. The Pilgrims have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven outings and have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, Plymouth have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in four of their last six matches, including a thrilling 3-3 draw with Middlesbrough in their most recent fixture. However, their four-game losing streak prior to that result highlights the uphill battle they face to climb out of the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Sky Blues struggling to find consistency at their own ground. The team have been involved in a series of high-scoring encounters, with all six of their recent home matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the back of the net. Notably, Coventry have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match. However, they've also been prolific in attack, matching their opponents' goal tally with an identical average of 1.83 goals scored per game. The standout fixture was a thrilling 3-2 victory over Luton Town, showcasing Coventry's ability to edge out opponents in closely contested matches. Despite their inconsistent results, Coventry City have proven themselves to be an entertaining side for spectators, with their home games averaging a remarkable 3.67 total goals.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form has been dire, with the Pilgrims failing to win any of their last six matches on the road. They are currently on a concerning run of three consecutive away defeats, having lost to Sheffield United, Bristol City, and Norwich. The match against Norwich was particularly disastrous, with Plymouth conceding six goals in a 6-1 thrashing. Their defensive frailties are evident, as they have conceded a whopping 17 goals in these six away games, averaging 2.83 goals conceded per match. Plymouth have struggled to find the back of the net themselves, scoring only twice in this period. Their inability to keep clean sheets away from home is also a major concern, having failed to do so in any of these six matches. With their current form, Plymouth find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Championship table, desperately needing to improve their away performances to avoid relegation.
