Coventry City, Recent FormA point gained from their 0-0 draw against Birmingham City in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Coventry City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Birmingham City, who had 12 shots on goal with 4 on target.
They have bagged 6 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 12 times in that period. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 3 of their last 6 matches. Mark Robins will be concerned about his leaky defence after they have failed to keep a clean sheet at home for 8 games in a row.
Coventry City will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Coventry Building Society Arena, they've lost their last 3 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 5 games.
Matt Godden will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Coventry City.
Middlesbrough, Recent FormMiddlesbrough will have been reasonably pleased with their 0-0 draw against Rotherham United, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 56% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Rotherham United's tally of 3 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 outings away from home. Having shipped at least a single goal in 8 of their 10 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Middlesbrough that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
Coventry have scored in each of their last 9 games at home in the league against The Boro.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Liam Kelly (Lack of fitness), Callum O'Hare (Hamstring) and Michael Rose (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Chuba Akpom (Knee) and Darragh Lenihan (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Chris Wilder will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
