Coventry City Preview – Can Sky Blues take advantage?
Coventry City slipped to a 2-0 defeat away from home at Cardiff City in midweek but the Sky Blues return to home surroundings for this upcoming clash against Barnsley no doubt looking to bounce back with a win in order to keep their hopes of a play-off place alive.
Coventry have produced a mixed bag of results lately in the Championship as the west midlands club have recorded wins against Peterborough United, Stoke City and Reading but the hosts have also fallen to five defeats within a 13-match period.
The Sky Blues had previously suffered three defeats on the trot at home as well but they’ve since bounced back with a win over Stoke City and a point in a draw with Blackpool.
Barnsley Preview – Can Tykes move off bottom?
A measure as to how poor Barnsley have been so far in this season’s Championship campaign is the fact that the Yorkshire club still remain bottom of the table and lower than relegation rivals, Derby County, who had a 21-point penalty imposed upon them.
Despite easing their relegation worries with a 1-0 home win over QPR last weekend, Barnsley had suffered a worrying 13-match winless period in the second tier, a poor sequence of results which also included 10 defeats, so their prospects at Coventry on Saturday aren’t looking good.
In addition, Barnsley are still without an away win this season and they’ve lost 10 of their last 11 away games as well.
