📈 Sheffield Wednesday v Coventry Form & Stats
Coventry are still unbeaten in the Championship so far this season. They have won four and drawn four matches from their eight played, but they have won the xG battle quite convincingly in all bar one of those matches – the away 0-0 vs Leicester.
Indeed, that Leicester match is a big outlier for a number of reasons. It is the first and, so far, only time this season that Coventry failed to generate 1xG or more in chances. Indeed, Coventry have been above 3xG in chances on three occasions already this season, whilst they only concede less than 1xG per match as well.
Sheffield Wednesday are currently enjoying their best run of results in the season so far. They are unbeaten in three in the league, with a win and two draws making up that run. It was so close to two wins though, with Birmingham scoring in 90+9 to deny Wednesday a superb win in midweek.
In the season as a whole Wednesday rank 16th for xG created and 20th for xG conceded. So whilst their performances have been no match for Coventry, they are actually well in touch with their fellow relegation battlers in terms of chance creation.
This is further illustrated by the fact that they rank 10th for shots on target, averaging four per match.
