Current streaks

Recent form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a balanced record of two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The Owls have been inconsistent, failing to establish a significant winning or losing streak during this period. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just over one goal per game, while their defence has been slightly leaky, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per match. A notable result was their 3-0 defeat away to Leeds United, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Despite their mixed form, Sheffield Wednesday have managed to secure two clean sheets, demonstrating their defensive capabilities when at their best. The team's current 8th position in the Championship table, with 45 points from 32 games, suggests they are still in contention for a play-off spot, though they will need to improve their consistency to climb higher in the standings.

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a notable run of three consecutive Championship wins against Blackburn, Watford, and Swansea. However, this positive streak was interrupted by back-to-back losses, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Ipswich Town in the FA Cup. The Sky Blues have bounced back with their most recent victory against Queens Park Rangers, demonstrating resilience. Their defensive record is particularly impressive, with three clean sheets in their last six matches, conceding an average of just 1.17 goals per game. Despite sitting 10th in the league, Coventry's recent form suggests they are capable of pushing for a higher position, especially if they can maintain their solid defensive performances whilst improving their goal-scoring rate of 1.33 per game.

Recent home/away form

Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday have displayed a mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The Owls have been particularly resilient in their most recent outings, avoiding defeat in their last five home games. Notably, they've been involved in a series of high-scoring encounters, with their 4-2 victory over Derby County on New Year's Day standing out as a particularly entertaining fixture. Wednesday have shown a consistent ability to find the back of the net, scoring in five of their last six home matches and averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. The team's matches have been exciting for neutrals, with both teams scoring in 67% of these games and an average of 3.17 total goals per match, suggesting that Hillsborough has been a venue for open, attacking football.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent away form has shown a remarkable turnaround, with the Sky Blues securing back-to-back 2-0 victories in their last two outings against Swansea and Blackburn Rovers. This impressive run follows a challenging period where they suffered three consecutive away defeats, including a heavy 4-1 loss to Portsmouth. Despite their mixed form, Coventry have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six away games, demonstrating improved defensive solidity. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, while conceding 1.5 goals on average. Interestingly, 67% of their recent away matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring contests on the road.
