Coventry City vs Middlesbrough

Current streaks

Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Sky Blues struggling to maintain momentum in their push for promotion. They have managed just two wins in their last six matches, alongside one draw and three losses, which has seen them slip to 6th in the Championship table. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of 1.17 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, scoring only six goals in these six matches at an average of one goal per game. The team's most recent outings have been particularly disappointing, with Coventry suffering back-to-back defeats against Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town, potentially jeopardising their playoff aspirations. Despite this dip in form, Coventry have shown they can still compete with stronger sides, as evidenced by their 2-0 victory over West Brom on 18th April.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Teessiders have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only five goals in their last six outings, averaging a modest 0.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been equally tight, conceding the same number of goals. Notably, Middlesbrough have kept two clean sheets in this period, including their most recent match against Norwich. Low-scoring affairs have been a trend, with 67% of their last six games seeing under 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed results, Middlesbrough find themselves in a respectable 9th position in the Championship, having amassed 64 points from 45 games. Their goal difference of zero over the last six matches reflects their balanced, if somewhat uninspiring, recent performances.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City have been in impressive form at home, winning five of their last six matches at the Coventry Building Society Arena. The Sky Blues are currently enjoying a three-game winning streak on home soil, showcasing their strength in front of their own supporters. Their defensive prowess is evident, with three clean sheets in their last six home games, including a commanding 3-0 victory over Sunderland. Offensively, Coventry have been potent, scoring an average of 2 goals per game in this stretch. The 3-2 win against Stoke City stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, contributing to the fact that 67% of their recent home matches have seen over 2.5 goals. This strong home form has undoubtedly played a crucial role in Coventry's push for a play-off position, as they currently sit sixth in the Championship table.

Middlesbrough

Middlesbrough's recent away form in the Championship has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Teessiders are currently experiencing a run of two consecutive away defeats, having lost to Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall in their most recent outings. Despite their mixed results, Boro have managed to maintain a positive goal difference in these games, scoring six goals whilst conceding five. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding less than a goal per game on average. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacking, with only one goal per game scored. The standout performance in this run was their 3-1 victory over Stoke City, which was their highest-scoring away match during this period. With 67% of these matches seeing under 2.5 goals, Middlesbrough's away games have tended to be low-scoring affairs.
