Coventry City Preview – Can Coventry stay on course for promotion?
Coventry City head into this crucial top five clash in League One against 5th placed Sunderland sitting in 2nd spot and an impressive unbeaten run of 12 matches in the third tier which has elevated the Sky Blues up into one of the automatic promotion spots.
5 wins out of their last 6 matches overall include wins against Bristol Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Portsmouth, Southend United and Rochdale, and although the hosts have been shunted out of their previous home, Ricoh Arena, this doesn’t seem to have perturbed Mark Robins’ side as they’re also unbeaten in their last 9 matches at their temporary home ground, St Andrews.
Indeed, a home record of 10-5-1 21/11 includes just the one defeat on home turf throughout this whole campaign to date, and recent notable wins against Lincoln City and Portsmouth along with keeping 6 clean sheets so far this season should stand Coventry in good stead here.
Sunderland Preview – Can Sunderland maintain momentum?
Sunderland are also in good form in League One as they prepare for their trip down to the west midlands to take on automatic promotion hopefuls, Coventry City, having put together a 5-match unbeaten run in the third tier which has lifted them up into 5th place.
After a slow start to his reign at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland are now picking up momentum under manager, Phil Parkinson as The Black Cats have won 4 of their last 5 matches following their 2-0 defeat away from home at Portsmouth at the start of February.
Wins against Ipswich Town, Rochdale, Oxford United and Bristol Rovers will give the visitors plenty of confidence although it should be noted that 3 of these last 4 wins were registered on home turf at their Stadium of Light.
That said, Sunderland have won 3 of their last 4 matches on the road with wins at Tranmere Rovers, MK Dons and 6th placed Oxford United so they too will be confident of getting something out of this trip.
