Stoke City, Recent FormStoke City will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their home outing against Queens Park Rangers. They came away from that fixture with 41% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Queens Park Rangers managed 10 attempts on goal, with 1 on target.
Supremo Steven Schumacher will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 5 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City manager Mark Robins will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Plymouth Argyle. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Plymouth Argyle's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
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 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 14 of their 16 games on the road.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Haji Wright will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Coventry City's last 6 league games.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
The Stoke defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Sky Blues have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 4 meetings at Bet365 Stadium. Ahead of this match, The Sky Blues won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Stoke in their last 2 meetings. We've seen plenty of goals from Coventry when they've visited The Potters in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game.
In the league, Coventry have been unbeaten in the last 4 times they have visited Stoke at Bet365 Stadium.
There is only really one injury concern for the Stoke manager Steven Schumacher ahead of this clash, with Josh Laurent (Ankle) missing out, which gives Schumacher a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With only Jamie Allen (Broken cheekbone) and Ben Sheaf (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Robins will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
