Recent respective form guides

Coventry City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Sky Blues have scored 4, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Coventry City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 42 points from 38 matches.
