Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City manager Mark Robins will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Swansea City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Swansea City, who had 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 10 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Coventry Building Society Arena, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
On an individual basis, Matt Godden will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Coventry City's last 6 league games.
Sunderland, Recent FormSunderland will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 home win against Rotherham United. In that game they had 68% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Rotherham United who had 4 attempts and 1 on target.
Tony Mowbray will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 11 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 8 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Goalscorer Ross Stewart will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sunderland.
