Coventry City, Recent FormThe Coventry City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Reading, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with 60% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Reading managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Mark Robins will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Viktor Gyökeres will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Coventry City.
Swansea City, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Norwich City will have left the Swansea City squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 65% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Norwich City's tally of 5 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 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. 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 5 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
The Swansea City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Olivier Ntcham, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
It was one to forget for Coventry City last time they met Swansea City in the league, falling to a 3-1 defeat.
The Coventry defence has struggled against The Swans in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 6 games.
Coventry have lost the last 3 times they've faced Swansea in the league and have failed to win in their last 10 encounters.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Fankaty Dabo (Muscle), Matt Godden (Ankle), Kasey Palmer (Calf), Martyn Waghorn (Hamstring) and Tyler Walker (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Swansea manager Russell Martin ahead of this clash, with Joe Allen (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Martin a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
