Coventry City, Recent FormLast time out, Coventry City went away feeling content with a 2-1 home win against Reading They came away from that fixture with 52% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Reading managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable 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. Mark Robins will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home matches.
They've been performing well at Coventry Building Society Arena of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Birmingham City, Recent FormThe Birmingham City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Blackpool recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Blackpool had 12 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager John Eustace will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 4 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 4 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Scoring goals away from home is something they have consistently achieved of late, having notched up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches on their travels.
It's been a mixed run of form for Birmingham recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Troy Deeney has scored in each of Birmingham City's last league game away from home.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Coventry Building Society Arena, The Blues have been unable to break through the Coventry defence and find the back of the net. The Sky Blues have struggled for goals when Birmingham comes to visit Coventry Building Society Arena, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 3 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Coventry Building Society Arena in the league, but Coventry will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 4 meetings there.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Hamstring), Ben Sheaf (Calf) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon) are all currently out of contention for this game.
John Eustace has a number of injury concerns in his Birmingham squad to contend with: Tate Campbell (Hamstring), Harlee Dean (Muscle), Troy Deeney (Hamstring), Gary Gardner (Groin), George Hall (Hamstring) and Dion Sanderson (Back)
