Recent respective form guides
Coventry City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Sky Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Ipswich Town's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. The Tractor Boys's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.
Coventry City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 28 points from their 23 games played so far, Ipswich Town's 31 points from 23 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
