MansionBet Match Preview: Coventry City (A)

City are unbeaten on the road in their last four away games (W3, D1) and therefore have confidence to take from their form away from Ashton Gate.

But Good Friday ended up being a disappointing afternoon in BS3 where the Robins endured a 2-0 defeat - their seventh successive loss at home.

Highlights: Bristol City 0-2 Stoke City

But as clichés go, the next game comes quickly and that's the beauty of the Championship. Easter Monday's match sees a second trip to St Andrew's in recent weeks, as Coventry share the ground with Birmingham City until the Sky Blues' return to the Ricoh Arena next season.

These two teams met at the start of the season, where captain Tomas Kalas scored a late winning header to secure an opening day victory. It formed part of a winning start to the season though those victories have been harder to come by in recent times.

As for Coventry, Mark Robins' side are currently fighting to stay in the division. They've managed nine wins this season since that opening day loss at Ashton Gate, the majority of those have been by a one-goal margin.

It could be a close encounter with their battle to survive relegation too, as Rotherham United with their three games in hand - threatening to put pressure on Birmingham City and the Sky Blues just above them.
