Coventry City, Recent FormIn their last match Coventry City enforced their superiority over Blackpool with a 4-1 away win. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Blackpool who had 11 attempts and 1 on target.
Manager Mark Robins will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. Robins will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
Viktor Gyökeres will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Coventry City.
Stoke City, Recent FormIt's fair to say Stoke City will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Norwich City, a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. In that game they recorded 65 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 6 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. 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.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
Tyrese Campbell will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Stoke City.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 0-2 win for Coventry City.
Coventry have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Potters in each of their previous 2 meetings at Coventry Building Society Arena. Coventry have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Potters.
Coventry have proven they're a capable side against Stoke in the league and are unbeaten in their last 5 league encounters.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jamie Allen (Calf), Liam Kelly (Leg), Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Hamstring) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Nick Powell (Knee) and Matija Šarkić (Muscle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alex Neil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
