Coventry City, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Coventry City and Swansea City in their last match, which ended in a 0-0 draw. They came away from that fixture with 35% of the possession and clocked up 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Swansea City managed 16 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 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. Having found the back of the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at Coventry Building Society Arena, they are developing an impressive scoring record at home. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Mark Robins of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Coventry Building Society Arena, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
Goalscorer Viktor Gyökeres will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Coventry City.
Watford, Recent FormThe Watford squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Huddersfield Town, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 75 % of the possession, with 14 attempts on goal, 5 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 8 shots on goal.
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. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 9 away games out of 20 this season, Chris Wilder will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
The Watford travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from João Pedro, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Coventry City recorded a 0-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Coventry have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Hornets in each of their previous 3 meetings at Coventry Building Society Arena.
When playing away from home in the league, Watford have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Coventry, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.

Chris Wilder has a number of injury concerns in his Watford squad to contend with: Tom Cleverley (Leg), Tom Dele-Bashiru (Ligament), Dan Gosling (Achilles tendon), Kortney Hause (Knee), Edo Kayembe (Calf) and Francisco Sierralta (Broken ankle)
