In their last match they recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Cardiff City. Viktor Gyökeres scored the first goal for Coventry City in the 34th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Cardiff City couldn’t muster any offence and Coventry City ran away with the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, 2nd placed Sheffield United, recorded a 3-3 draw against Blackpool. James Mcatee struck first for Sheffield United in the 8th minute on a feed from Billy Sharp, then Iliman Ndiaye added another in the 24th minute .

Both Oliver McBurnie and Iliman Ndiaye have been the hottest scorers for Sheffield United in the last five each having scored 2 goals.
