Coventry City are absolutely flying right now as they prepare to welcome Stoke City to the Coventry Building Society Arena. Frank Lampard's men have been on a tear, winning an impressive eight of their last ten Championship matches. That's some serious form!The Sky Blues have been particularly strong at home lately, with four wins from their last six matches on their own turf. They've been finding the back of the net consistently too, scoring 16 goals in their last ten games while keeping things relatively tight at the back, conceding just 11.Their recent run includes back-to-back-to-back victories against Oxford United, Preston, and Sheffield Wednesday. You've got to wonder if anyone can stop them right now. Lampard has really got them playing with confidence.

Things aren't looking quite so rosy for Mark Robins' Stoke City. The Potters have managed just two wins in their last ten outings, along with three draws and five defeats. Ouch!Their away form is equally concerning. Just one win from their last five road trips doesn't exactly inspire confidence. They've shipped 11 goals in those five away games while only finding the net six times themselves.There have been some bright spots though. Their 3-1 home win against Swansea last month showed what they're capable of on their day. And they did pick up a solid away win at Hull at the start of February. Can they build on those rare positive moments?

When you look at how both teams have been performing as favorites, it's clear who's been living up to expectations. Coventry have started as favorites in 70% of their recent matches and actually delivered on that promise nearly 86% of the time. That's championship form right there!Stoke? Well, they've been favorites in 40% of their recent games but only managed to come through once. That's a success rate of just 25%. Not great.The bookies seem to agree with the form book too. Coventry are given a healthy 61.3% chance of victory, while Stoke are outsiders at 17.1%. A draw is rated at 21.6%.With the hosts in such a rich vein of form and playing in front of their home crowd, this certainly looks like a tough assignment for the visitors. But hey, that's why they play the games, right? Nothing's ever certain in the Championship!

Sometimes in football, it's all about the intangibles. Coventry have momentum - and lots of it. Eight wins from ten creates a positive atmosphere in the dressing room. The players expect to win. The fans expect to win. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.On the other hand, Stoke are desperately seeking some consistency. Their recent form has been patchy at best. But sometimes that desperation can be a powerful motivator. Will they roll over or will they fight with everything they've got?When these two meet at the CBS Arena, it'll be fascinating to see which force proves stronger. The confidence of a team riding high or the determination of a side looking to turn things around?Kickoff is set for 12:30 on March 8th, 2025. Don't miss it!
