Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Rotherham United. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Rotherham United's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Mark Robins will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 6 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Coventry Building Society Arena recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. When playing at home this season, Coventry City has notched up a tally of 9 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
Coventry will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Sunderland, Recent FormAny Sunderland pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Rotherham United. Their share of possession in that meeting was 64%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Rotherham United had 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Tony Mowbray will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 4 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 14 games. 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.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
Ross Stewart will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 5 goals in the last 6 league outings for Sunderland.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Black Cats defence has struggled at Coventry Building Society Arena, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 8 visits.
Sunderland has had a poor run in this fixture when they visit Coventry, being unable to find a win from any of their last 9 league meetings at Coventry Building Society Arena.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Fankaty Dabo (Groin), Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Jonathan Panzo (Knee), Ben Sheaf (Calf) and Fabio Tavares (Leg) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray with Elliot Embleton (Broken ankle), Corry Evans (Cruciate ligament) and Lynden Gooch (Hip) all unavailable for selection, and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
