Recent respective form guides

Coventry City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Sky Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Nottm. Forest's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. While the Forest have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Coventry City are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 44 from their 40 matches played. Nottm. Forest are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 39 points from their 39 games thus far.
