Coventry City vs Swansea City
England Championship, KO: 19:45 Nov 2, 2021, Coventry Building Society Arena
Coventry City will look to maintain the pressure on the leaders in the English Championship as they battle Swansea City in a midweek fixture. Home form has been at the heart Coventry's fine start to the season and they will be confident of getting past the Welsh team.
Matthew Godden scored the only goal as Coventry City claimed a 1-0 victory at Hull City last time out in the Championship. Godden struck early in the contest and despite creating a few chances, failed to add to their tally.
It was a welcome return to winning ways for Coventry City, who had failed to secure a victory in their previous three matches. The result also keeps them in the mix for an automatic playoff berth as they sit just five points behind second placed Fulham.
Having been on the road in their last four matches, manager Mark Robins will be pleased to be back at home where Coventry City are unbeaten this season. They have claimed six wins from seven matches on their own turf and can count a 4-1 victory over Fulham among their results in that run.
Following a slow start to the season, Swansea have won three of their last four matches and are now up to 13th on the table, just one point off the top 10.
Russell Martin’s men claimed a 3-0 victory over Peterborough United in their previous Championship fixture. They made a fast start with Jake Bidwell, Joel Piroe and Olivier Ntcham all getting the goals before the break.
While Swansea’s recent resurgence will give them confidence, it is important to note that their last three wins have come at home. They remain poor on their travels and have lost three of their last four away matches, including a 2-1 defeat to Birmingham in their last outing on the road.
