Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form presents a mixed picture, with their last six games resulting in 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Their most impressive performance came in a friendly against Premier League side Everton, where they secured a convincing 3-0 victory. However, they've struggled to maintain consistency, as evidenced by their current 17th position in the Championship after losing their season opener to Stoke City. The team has shown the ability to score goals, netting 7 times in their last 6 matches, but they've also conceded 6, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities. Interestingly, Coventry City has managed two clean sheets in this period, both coming in their wins against Everton and Getafe. The team's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games going over 2.5 goals and 50% staying under, suggesting a certain unpredictability in their performances.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent form presents a mixed picture, with alternating wins and losses in their last six matches. Their Championship opener against Norwich resulted in an impressive 2-0 victory, placing them in 4th position after the first game. The team has shown defensive strength, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding an average of only 0.67 goals per game. However, their offensive output has been moderate, scoring 1.17 goals per game on average. Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards lower-scoring affairs. While there are no extended winning or losing streaks, the team's ability to bounce back from losses with wins demonstrates resilience. The 3-0 victory against Solihull Moors stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form has been concerning, with a notable run of three consecutive Championship defeats in their last three league games at home. Despite this poor run, their goal-scoring ability remains a bright spot, averaging an impressive 1.83 goals per game across their last six home matches. Defensively, however, they've struggled, conceding 2 goals per game on average. The team has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with all of their last six home games featuring over 2.5 goals, including a thrilling 3-3 draw against Manchester United in the FA Cup. Their most recent home victory came in a friendly against Everton, where they impressively won 3-0, showcasing their potential when in form. The high percentage (83%) of games where both teams scored indicates that while Coventry City's matches at home are entertaining, they're struggling to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six home games.

Oxford United

Oxford United's recent away form presents a mixed picture with some interesting patterns. In their last six away matches, they've managed 3 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses, showing a degree of inconsistency. Notably, they've kept three clean sheets in these games, demonstrating solid defensive performances. The team has been involved in some high-scoring games, particularly in their friendlies against Solihull Moors and Oxford City, where they won both matches 3-0. Despite the occasional loss, Oxford United has shown an ability to bounce back, never losing more than two consecutive away games in this stretch. Their goal-scoring record is impressive, netting 9 goals in 6 games (1.5 per game), while conceding only 3 (0.5 per game), resulting in a positive goal difference of 6. This suggests that when Oxford United wins away from home, they tend to do so convincingly.
