History of the Coventry City v Brighton & Hove Albion fixture

Brighton & HA pack their bags to visit Coventry City at Highfield Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 24 games played, Seagulls have recorded 7 wins, and Coventry City have come away with 10 victories.

The previous match played between the two at Highfield Road Stadium was within the last three years, in January 2003, when they played out a goalless draw 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. The Sky Blues's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 7.

Brighton & HA's away form is none too clever either, accumulating just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While the Seagulls have hit 5 goals, 13 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Coventry City are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 41 points from their 39 games thus far. Brighton & HA are currently lying in 19th place in Coca-Cola Championship having mustered a points tally of 44 from their 39 matches played.
