Recent respective form guides

Coventry City will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Sky Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Sheff. Wed.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the The Owls have hit 5 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Coventry City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 30 points from their 25 matches. Sheff. Wed.'s 34 points from 25 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
