Recent respective form guides

Coventry City have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. While Sky Blues have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Doncaster Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. A generous 9 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Coventry City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 25 points from their 22 matches. Doncaster Rvs.'s 30 points from 22 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 11th position.
