Coventry City, Recent FormA 0-0 draw in their last match against Sunderland meant Coventry City had to settle for a share of the points. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Sunderland's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Mark Robins will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 4 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 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.
Watford, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Watford players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Blackburn Rovers. In that game they recorded 65 % of the possession, with 24 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 5 shots on goal.
When it comes to attacking power Valérien Ismaël 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 4 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to score in their last 3 games in a row.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 10 games.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Playing away from home, Watford have kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 3 league games against Coventry.
