Coventry City vs Portsmouth

Current streaks

Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Sky Blues struggling to find consistency in their Championship campaign. Despite their current 7th position in the league, they have experienced a rollercoaster of results in their last six matches, alternating between wins and losses. The team's goal-scoring prowess is evident, with an impressive average of 1.83 goals per game, but their defensive vulnerabilities are equally apparent, conceding at the same rate. Notably, Coventry have been involved in a series of high-scoring encounters, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their 3-2 victory over Stoke City and 3-3 thriller against Oxford United highlight their penchant for entertaining, goal-filled contests. However, the Sky Blues' inability to maintain a consistent run of form is a concern, as they have failed to string together more than two consecutive wins in this period.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent form has been patchy, with the club struggling to find consistency in the Championship. Currently sitting in 17th position, Pompey have managed just two wins in their last six matches, suffering four defeats in the process. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly concerning, netting only five times in these six games, at an average of 0.83 goals per match. Defensively, they've been somewhat more stable, conceding seven goals and keeping two clean sheets. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, while there's been an even split between games with under and over 2.5 goals. Portsmouth's inability to string together consecutive positive results is evident, with their last two victories sandwiched between pairs of defeats, suggesting a team struggling to build momentum in their battle to climb the table.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City have been in impressive form at home recently, winning four consecutive Championship matches before their most recent defeat to Burnley. Their home record shows a strong offensive output, averaging 1.83 goals per game, with their defence also performing well, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. The Sky Blues have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. A particularly notable result was their 3-0 victory over Sunderland, which showcased their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. However, their FA Cup run came to an end with a heavy 4-1 defeat to Ipswich Town, marking their highest number of goals conceded at home in this period. Despite this setback, Coventry's overall home form has been robust, contributing significantly to their current 7th position in the Championship table.

Portsmouth

Portsmouth's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the club enduring a challenging run of five defeats in their last six matches on the road. The Pompey have struggled defensively, conceding 12 goals in these six games, with a notably heavy 5-1 loss to West Brom standing out as their most significant defeat. Their sole victory came against Oxford United, where they managed their only clean sheet in this period. Portsmouth have found the back of the net in five of these six matches, but their goal-scoring average of one per game hasn't been enough to offset their defensive frailties. The team's struggles are further emphasized by the fact that 67% of their away games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs that have often not gone in their favour. This poor away form has likely contributed to their low league position, currently sitting in 17th place in the Championship.
