Coventry v Sheffield Wednesday

Coventry vs Sheffield Wednesday Preview

Coventry City will be eager to return to winning ways when the west midlands hosts play host to Sheffield Wednesday in an all-Championship affair at The Coventry Building Society Arena having drawn twice and suffered a 2-1 defeat away from home at Norwich City in last weekend's league action.

Sheffield Wednesday continued their promising turnaround of results in the English second tier last weekend when The Owls drew 2-2 at home with Millwall which means the Yorkshire club have now suffered just two defeats within their previous 11 games overall in all competitions.

Prior to last weekend's 2-1 defeat away from home to Norwich City at Carrow Road, Coventry City had picked up five points from their preceding three games which consisted of a resounding 4-0 home win against Plymouth Argyle along with back-to-back draws with Millwall and Cardiff City.

However, amidst the sacking of former manager Mark Robins and the arrival of new boss Frank Lampard, the Sky Blues have still only managed to collect just three wins from their last 13 matches overall whilst also being dealt five defeats in the process as well.

Goals may feature here though on Saturday evening as eight out of Coventry City's aforementioned 13 games in all competitions have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Sheffield Wednesday continued their revival under manager Danny Röhl in last weekend's 2-2 draw at home with Millwall in the Championship and The Owls will be in reasonably confident mood that they can progress in this domestic cup competition at the expense of their hosts this Saturday.

The Yorkshire visitors have slipped to just two defeats in their last 11 games which is a vast improvement upon results earlier in the season after Sheffield Wednesday had managed to pick up just one win from their opening six matches of the season, that being a comprehensive 4-0 home win against Plymouth Argyle.

Nevertheless, Sheffield Wednesday have registered five wins within their previous 11 games with three of these five wins being achieved away from home with wins on the road at Hull City, Derby County and Oxford United respectively.

The Owls have also captured five wins within their last 10 outings on the road in all competitions while goals also look set to flow at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday evening as six out of Sheffield Wednesday's last 10 away games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
