Match Preview:
Coventry sit six points clear at the top of the second tier but have seen their form take somewhat of a nosedive in recent weeks, picking up just five points from their last four league outings. The Sky Blues were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw away at Southampton last time out, clinging on for a point after Jay Dasilva’s dismissal left them a man short for much of the second half. Despite some mid-season turbulence, Coventry’s overall campaign has been hugely impressive, responding emphatically to last season’s playoff heartbreak against Sunderland by scoring a remarkable 53 goals already.

Swansea, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by a marked improvement in results following the departure of Alan Sheehan and the appointment of Matos. The Welsh side have won three of their last four matches, with their new man at the helm steadying the ship after a rocky start to the campaign. That revival continued last time out with a 2-1 victory over native rivals Wrexham, a result that handed them the national bragging rights and further boosted their upturn in form.

However, Coventry will draw encouragement from their recent record in this fixture, having claimed a 2-0 win in the most recent meeting, their first league victory over Swansea in 16 attempts.

Match Prediction: Coventry City 2-1 Swansea City
High-flying Coventry’s strong home form and division-leading attacking output should give them the edge, even if their recent results suggest a tighter contest than expected. That said, Swansea’s revival under Matos certainly gives this game all the prospective hallmarks of a Christmas cracker, but the Sky Blues’ consistency at the CBS Arena is likely to prove decisive.
