---

Bristol City’s inconsistent streak once again came to the fore last weekend in the Championship as The Robins slipped to a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Watford leaving the west country hosts in a mid-table position of 10th place in the table.

With just one win from their last four matches in the English second tier, it looks like Bristol City’s ambitions of a possible place in the play-offs have seemingly gone up in smoke as their singular recent success came in the form of a 2-1 win away at strugglers Blackburn Rovers but also includes two defeats.

An earlier 1-0 loss away from home at Swansea City have contributed to Bristol City’s wobble of late while an overall home record of 7-4-7 28/24 underlines the problems that Gerhard Struber’s side have had in producing more consistent results.

Coventry City meanwhile collected a fourth league win on the trot in the Championship last weekend with a 2-1 home win against Stoke City which helped the Sky Blues to a five-point cushion ahead of 2nd placed Middlesbrough and an even healthier looking nine-point lead over 3rd placed Millwall.

Recent victories against Middlesbrough, West Brom and Sheffield United have also contributed to the west midlands visitors’ push for automatic promotion up to the Premier League while the bigger picture shows Frank Lampard’s side have suffered just two defeats in their last nine matches.

An away record of 8-5-5 36/25 has been enough to keep Coventry City top of the league but there is perhaps a slight chink in the Sky Blues’ armour when having to go on the road in the Championship.

The Betting Verdict

Bristol City have lost just once in their last four meetings at home against Coventry City.
