Wigan Athletic, Recent FormAfter a crushing 3-0 away loss to Burnley, the Wigan Athletic squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. During that encounter they had 21% possession and had 2 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 7 of their 27 shots on goal.
Having scored just 3 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Shaun Maloney where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table, although he will still have one eye on his defence which have shipped 8 in the same period. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
There will be mixed feelings from The Latics, although undefeated in their last 3 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Coventry City, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Hull City, Coventry City had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 25 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target. Hull City had 11 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Mark Robins will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 2 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 10 goals. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They are showing that they are not easy to beat with a defensive record of 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
On an individual basis, Viktor Gyökeres will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Coventry City's last 6 league games.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-0 win for Coventry City.
Playing at home, Wigan have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Coventry.
In the league, Wigan has a good track record when they host Coventry, getting the better of them in their last 3 home games.
With only Martin Kelly (Knee) and Jason Kerr (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Shaun Maloney will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Mark Robins has a number of injury concerns in his Coventry squad to contend with: Jamie Allen (Calf), Liam Kelly (Leg), Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Hamstring), Ben Sheaf (Calf) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon)
