Head-To-Head, Recent Form, Team News, and the Latest Betting Odds, ahead of tonight's Bristol City-Coventry clash.

Head-To-Head: The two sides have met fifty-four times, with Coventry having won 18 times (14 in the league), drawn 19 times (17 in the league), and Bristol City have won 17 times (16 in the league). Coventry have failed to beat Bristol City in any of their last six meetings, and have lost five of those games. Coventry's last victory away at Bristol City was a 1-0 win in the League Cup in the 1976/77 season, and they haven't won there in the league since the 1963/64 season (Also a 1-0 victory).

Recent Form: Bristol City's last home defeat in the league came against Burnley in December, and since then they have won four home fixtures, and drawn two. Following a fine victory away against Reading, Bristol City have failed to win any of their last three fixtures. Bristol City are sixth, and Coventry seventh, in the current form table for the last eight games.

Team News: Dan Fox and Leon McKenzie are the only names expected to be missing from Coventry's line-up, with cup-tied David Bell expected to return to the starting XI. David Noble will definitely be missing, while Skuse and Adebola could be missing, from Bristol City's line-up, though smug boss Gary Johnson is refusing to name his team until an hour before kick-off. Former Coventry striker Stern John is likely to start against his old club.

Latest Betting Odds: Bristol City are evens for the win with Ladbrokes (And most other companies), with Coventry at 11/4 (Best odds of 16/5 with Bet365). The draw is 12/5 with Ladbrokes. Six Bristol City players head the first scorer chart according to Bet365, including Coventry old boys Adebola (6/1) and John (Also 6/1). Eastwood is 8/1, Morrison 9/1, and Best 10/1.
