Coventry City prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Highfield Road Stadium on Wednesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 14 of the 41 previous games, with the Sky Blues winning just 9.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Highfield Road Stadium was just last season, in August 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1-3 winners in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides
Coventry City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Sky Blues have scored 5, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.
Nottm. Forest's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. While the Forest have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.
Coventry City are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 44 from their 40 matches played. Nottm. Forest are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 39 points from their 39 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Coventry City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Sky Blues will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
