Matches featuring Coventry City have often been lively encounters of late with a lot of goalmouth action the rule rather than the exception. Over their past six games alone, a total of 22 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 11 of those being chalked up by Coventry City. Previous results aside, we will just have to wait and see if the trend shall be sustained here in this match.
