Match preview
A Coventry City outfit in desperate search of a bounce-back result will act as hosts, in a Championship showdown with Norwich City on Saturday, January 21st.
The Sky Blues will head into proceedings at the Coventry Building Society Arena having slipped into an alarming funk of late.
All told, after entering the World Cup break in stellar form, Mark Robins’ troops have since secured just a solitary victory from their last attempts.
This stretch includes an embarrassing FA Cup exit at the hands of non-league Wrexham, and, most recently, a single goal downing to Championship table-toppers Burnley last weekend.
Such woes, in turn, have culminated in Coventry slipping from the fringes of the promotion playoff battle to the depths of 15th in England’s 2nd tier.
Safe to say, then, that a three-point haul could not come at a more opportune time for Robins and co. than this weekend.
Such a result, though, is unlikely to prove a straightforward one to come by.
This comes with their upcoming opponents fresh off an explosive return to winning ways of their own last weekend.
After failing to reap the benefits of the so desired ‘new manager bounce’ en route to a defeat of their own in the FA Cup, Norwich City made the trip to Deepdale last Saturday with confidence lacking in the camp, in the midst of a five-game winless streak.
In turn, it came as nothing short of a shock when the Canaries went on to put four goals past Preston North End without replay.
Both Teemu Pukki and Kieran Dowell were at the double in the clash, to provide Norwich fans across the globe with a timely reminder of precisely what their side is capable of when firing on all cylinders.
It is Saturday’s visitors to the Coventry Building Society Arena who will therefore head into proceedings altogether more confident in their chances of clinching a result.
And we at 101 would not all be at all surprised to see precisely that come to fruition, with Wagner’s Canaries certainly looking the early favourites to emerge with all three points.
Despite their poor form, though, do not write Coventry off completely, with the Sky Blues’ stout defensive showing at Turf Moor last weekend proof enough that they remain capable of frustrating more favoured opponents when required.
