Rotherham United, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Reading will not have sat easily with the Rotherham United squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 1 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 13 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Matt Taylor will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at AESSEAL New York Stadium. Matt Taylor will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They've had a poor run of form at AESSEAL New York Stadium recently, losing 3 of their last 6 home games and managing only 1 win.
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 Millwall. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Millwall had 11 shots on goal with 1 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. With 14 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
On an individual basis, Viktor Gyökeres will be looking to cause Rotherham United some problems having scored 2 goals in Coventry City's last 6 away games in the league.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Rotherham have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Sky Blues.
Rotherham remains without a victory against Coventry in their previous 4 league encounters.
With Georgie Kelly (Hamstring) and Ben Wiles (Ankle) both unavailable and Sean Morrison (Thigh) being out for the rest of the season, Rotherham manager Matt Taylor will be glad to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
Mark Robins has a number of injury concerns in his Coventry squad to contend with: Fankaty Dabo (Groin), Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament) and Fabio Tavares (Leg)
