Bristol City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Queens Park Rangers will have left the Bristol City squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they recorded 56% of the possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 5 of their 14 shots on goal.
Whilst manager Nigel Pearson will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 in the same period. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 22 games in a row. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form at Ashton Gate Stadium recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Nahki Wells will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for Bristol City.
Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 1-0 home win against Middlesbrough. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Middlesbrough's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Mark Robins will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 8 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Coventry City, Matt Godden will be looking to add more goals against Bristol City in this match.
