Coventry City vs Swansea City Match Analysis & Prediction
21/09/2024 5:00 pm
Coventry City and Swansea City meet at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday looking to kick-start their campaigns in the Championship.
As it stands, these two teams occupy 14th and 11th positions in the standings respectively, securing just three wins between them.
With just five points having been picked up from five matches, Mark Robins will be disappointed with the start of Coevntry’s season.
Nevertheless, each of their two defeats have come by one-goal margins, the issues being at the attacking end of the pitch rather than the defensive.
The only time that Coventry have conceded more than once in a Championship game this season was in a 3-2 victory, but they have since netted just four goals in five games across all competitions.
Returning from the international break to draw 1-1 at Watford was percieved to be a positive result, yet Robins may have a job on his hands to lift his side after the frustration of Wednesday night.
Coventry were 1-0 ahead of Tottenham Hotspur at the 87-minute mark of their EFL Cup third-round tie, only to see their Premier League opponents pull off a remarkable turnaround in the closing stages.
Meanwhile, Luke Williams would have been hoping for a better start to the season than Swansea City have produced, at one stage going three matches across all competitions without success.
However, the 1-0 victory over Norwich City last time out has catapulted them into 11th position in the table while also possessing one of the best defensive records in the division.
Just three goals have been conceded in five matches, the Swans also yet to ship any more than one goal in any of their seven games across all competitions during 2024-25.
On a positive note, just two goals have been scored in their most recent four matches, both coming in the opening 10 minutes of different games and one being an own goal.
Coventry City vs. Swansea City Head to head
In the 18 previous meetings between these two teams, Coventry have claimed one victory while Swansea have won seven, and they have drawn in 10. Swansea have scored 21 goals and conceded 15 in the process.

Having made alterations in midweek, Robins could revert back to a similar Coventry City XI that started the draw at Watford.
However, Haji Wright and Brandon Thomas-Asante are each pushing for recalls in the final third, Ephron Mason-Clark’s place being at risk.

Williams appears likely to name the same Swansea starting lineup should there be no fitness issues, with Liam Cullen expected to retain his place down the centre of the attack ahead of Zan Vipotnik.
Josh Tymon may be recalled at left-back ahead of Kyle Naughton, having come off the substitutes’ bench last time out.
