Coventry have scored in 82% of their games while conceding in 47%. The Sky Blues are a low-scoring team with 35 goals scored in 32 matches.

Sunderland
With the 2-1 away defeat at Rotherham, Sunderland ended a five-match unbeaten run and are winless in two matches in the league. The Black Cats are playing in their second consecutive away game and need to pick up points to stay close to the top six.
Offensively, boss Tony Mowbray’s team is in good shape scoring at least a goal in each of their last 14 matches. Moreover, the Black Cats were on target in 15 of their 17 road fixtures in the Championship and in all of their previous nine trips.
