Coventry vs Sunderland

Coventry City are unbeaten across their last 10 league games against Sunderland (W5 D5), since a 2-0 defeat in February 2007.

Sunderland are winless across each of their last 13 away games against Coventry City in all competitions (D5 L8), since a 1-0 victory at Highfield Road in the top-flight in April 1985, while they’ve failed to score in three of their last four visits.

Coventry have won seven of their last eight home league games (L1), including a 3-0 win over Sunderland. Since Frank Lampard’s first game in charge of the club in late November, only Leeds United and Bristol City (both 36) have picked up more points at home in the Championship than the Sky Blues (35).  

Sunderland have lost each of their last five Championship games in succession, while scoring just one goal across their last six league games. Indeed, it’s their longest losing streak in the league since March 2024 (6 games).

Coventry have previously featured in the EFL play-offs twice, in 2017-18 in League Two and 2022-23 in the Championship. Across their six matches in total, the Sky Blues remain unbeaten (W3 D3), failing to earn promotion to the Premier League in the 2022-23 Championship play-off final on penalties against Luton Town.
