Coventry City 2-1 Watford

Current streaks

Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown a marked improvement in their recent form, securing back-to-back victories in their last two Championship matches. This upturn follows a period of inconsistency, with three draws and a loss in their previous four games. The Sky Blues have been particularly solid defensively, conceding only four goals in their last six matches and keeping three clean sheets. Their recent performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with five out of six games seeing under 2.5 goals. Despite sitting 13th in the league table, Coventry's current form suggests they are finding their stride, with their goal difference of +2 over the last six games indicating a team that's becoming increasingly difficult to beat. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with 50% of their recent matches seeing both teams score, highlighting their competitive nature even when not at their best.

Watford

Watford's recent form has been concerning, with the Hornets winning just once in their last six matches across all competitions. They are currently experiencing a run of three consecutive defeats in the Championship, which has seen them slip to 8th position in the table. The team's defensive frailties are particularly evident, having conceded 12 goals in their last six games, with an average of 2 goals conceded per match. Their 4-1 FA Cup defeat to Fulham stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Despite their struggles, Watford have managed to find the net in five of their last six matches, with both teams scoring in 83% of these games. The high percentage of matches seeing over 2.5 goals (67%) suggests that Watford's recent fixtures have been entertaining affairs, albeit often at the expense of their own defensive solidity.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown impressive resilience at home, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches at the Coventry Building Society Arena. The Sky Blues have demonstrated a solid defensive record, conceding just four goals in these six games and keeping three clean sheets. Their attack has been potent, netting 10 goals during this period, with a particularly high-scoring 4-0 victory against Plymouth Argyle on Boxing Day. Coventry have drawn three of their last six home games, indicating a competitive but somewhat inconsistent form. Despite their mid-table position in the Championship, their home form suggests they are a formidable opponent on their own turf, with a positive goal difference of six and an average of 1.67 goals scored per game in this recent stretch.

Watford

Watford's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Hornets struggling to find consistency on their travels. They have managed just one win in their last six away matches, a 2-0 victory against Derby County, which also marked their only clean sheet during this period. The team have been particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game and failing to keep their opponents scoreless in five out of six matches. A concerning run of three consecutive away defeats was halted by a draw at Cardiff City, followed by the win at Derby. The FA Cup tie against Fulham stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, with Watford on the wrong end of a 4-1 scoreline. Despite their inconsistent form, Watford have shown some attacking prowess, scoring in five of their six away games and contributing to both teams scoring in 83% of these matches.
