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 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Bristol City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Coventry City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 22 games have yielded only 13 points.
