Coventry-Charlton: Preview

Head-To-Head, Recent Form, Team News, and the Latest Betting Odds, ahead of today's Coventry-Charlton clash.

Head-To-Head: The two sides have met thirty-four times, with Coventry City having won 13 times, Charlton 10 times, with eleven drawn matches. The last two fixtures where Coventry have been the home side have ended in draws, with the meeting before that being the F.A. Cup fixture that saw Coventry City throw away a 2-0 lead (Thanks to two Roussel goals), to embarrassingly lose 3-2.

This Season: Goals from Simpson and Fox, with a Burton penalty sandwiched in-between, saw Coventry City win 2-1 away at The Valley, which was the twelth game of an eighteen match sequence without a win for Charlton.

Recent Form: Charlton have won one, drawn three, and lost one of their last five fixtures, and could be relegated today should they lose at the Arena, and other results go against them (As things stand, they are already 12 points adrift of fourth from bottom Nottingham Forest). They have won only twice away from home this season, 1-0 against Doncaster, and 3-2 at Southampton.

Team News: Aron Gunnarsson looks set to miss this match with a calf injury, while Kieran Westwood call also miss out, depending on the seriousness of the injury he received versus Plymouth. They join Henderson, McKenzie, Wright, and probably as many more as the amount of goals the side conceded at the weekend. Charlton look set to stick with the XI that dented Birmingham City's chances of automatic promotion at the weekend.

Betting Odds: Ladbrokes have Coventry City at 10/11 for the win, with Charlton at 3/1, and 12/5 the draw. Morrison, Best, and Eastwood are all 5/1 to be first goal-scorer, with Burton at 9/1 for Charlton. Dan Fox is 18/1, as is Scott Dann, who could be worth a punt after apologising for the shambles that was last Saturday.
