The club from "KC Stadium" collected the same 49 points as Luton in the 2024/2025 season, and only edged ahead thanks to additional criteria, securing a "lifesaving" 21st place. Now, they can prepare for a playoff battle. That is, if their form improves, since February saw many defeats. They did beat Wednesday, but only drew 1-1 with Oxford.
Coventry climbed to fifth place a year ago but failed to impress in the playoffs. However, in the new campaign, Lampard's men have been consistent leaders. There was a dip in form over winter, but after beating their main rival Middlesbrough, they improved significantly. Their only recent slip was against a strong Southampton, but they thrashed Swansea 3-0. The Derby match was tougher, but they won it 3-2.
Jakirovic's team scores an average of 1.58 goals per match, conceding slightly fewer—1.45 per game. The division's frontrunner boasts: 2.1 goals scored per round and half as many conceded, 1.05.
