Stoke City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Rotherham United will have left the Stoke City squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 68% of the possession and clocked up 28 attempts on goal with 12 on target. By comparison, Rotherham United managed 4 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 7 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 3 of their last 6 games.
They've had a poor run of form at Bet365 Stadium recently, losing 3 of their last 6 home games and managing only 1 win.
Coventry City, Recent FormWith a 1-0 home win last time out against Sheffield United, Coventry City will be looking forward to this one, and there will undoubtedly be a mood of confidence among their squad. During that encounter they recorded 48% of the possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 3 of their 17 shots on goal.
Manager Mark Robins will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 1 goal in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 5 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Viktor Gyökeres will be looking to cause Stoke City some problems having scored 2 goals in Coventry City's last 6 away games in the league.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Sky Blues have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Stoke; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 4 games away to them. Coventry have a good attacking record away to The Potters in the league, having scored a total of 7 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2.33 goals per game.
Coventry have been unbeaten the last 4 times they have faced Stoke in the league.
With only Gavin Kilkenny (Groin) and Harry Souttar (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alex Neil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Liam Kelly (Lack of fitness) and Tyler Walker (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Robins will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
