Coventry City Preview – Can Sky Blues escape trouble?
Recent wins against Bristol City 3-1 at home and a 1-0 win on the road at fellow strugglers, Rotherham United, have given Coventry City a vital lifeline in their bid to avoid relegation and the hosts now hold a valuable six-point cushion above the bottom three in the Championship.
In what has been a tough campaign for Coventry upon their return to the Championship, the Sky Blues have done just about enough to keep their heads above water and this has been evident at home where they’ve lost just once in their last five matches, that being a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough.
Earlier wins against Brentford and Derby County though have helped Coventry steer clear of the bottom three for the time being but they face a tough encounter against Barnsley on Sunday.
Barnsley Preview – Can Tykes win three on trot?
Barnsley would have been among the pre-season favourites to be struggling against relegation in this season’s Championship campaign but The Tykes sit in 6th place and occupy one of the play-off spots prior to their trip to face Coventry City.
Back-to-back wins against Luton Town and Middlesbrough have helped maintain Barnsley’s push for a top six finish while one defeat out of their last 16 matches underlines Barnsley’s consistency and how hard they’ve been to beat this term.
Most impressive of all has been Barnsley’s results away from home as the visitors have won their last six away matches on the trot, scoring 14 goals and conceding just 5 in reply.
