Coventry City vs Huddersfield Town
England Championship, KO: 20:00 Sep 25, 2023, Coventry Building Society Arena
Coventry City host Huddersfield Town in a Monday night Championship fixture. Separated by a point, they look evenly matched at the moment and could be set for a closely fought encounter.
After reaching the playoff final last term, Coventry City would have been expecting to be in the mix this time around. However, they have failed to match last season’s levels so far, claiming just one win from seven Championship matches.
Coventry City head into Monday’s clash off the back of a 3-2 defeat at Cardiff City in their previous Championship fixture. Matthew Godden netted a brace as they fell just short of completing a comeback.
The problem for Coventry City is that they have been plagued by too many draws having been held four times already this season. Another issue is their vulnerable defence as Mark Robbins’ men have conceded in their last three matches and played out a 3-3 in their previous home fixture.
Huddersfield Town have not fared much better than Coventry City as they are only one point above their hosts. They have claimed just two wins in seven Championship matches but head into Monday’s clash unbeaten in their last three fixtures.
The Terriers are coming off a 2-2 draw with Stoke City last time out in the Championship with Matthew Godden netting a brace. That was the final match in charge for manager Neil Warnock, with Darren Moore the new man at the helm.
One similarity with Coventry City is that Huddersfield Town have also struggled to maintain their discipline at the back. They have kept just one clean sheet across all competitions this season, conceding five goals in the last three away matches.
