Coventry vs Luton
Coventry vs Luton Livestream
After a winless end to October, Coventry City will look keen to start the new month in style. Coventry City, who entertain Luton Town at Coventry Building Society Arena in a Championship football match on Saturday, had been relegated from the English Football League last season.
The Sky Blues did steal an unexpected point in Queens Park Rangers' backyard, though, while the Hatters fell foul to league leaders Sunderland most recently.
Coventry City have struggled around the playoff picture in the last two seasons of the Championship, with the Sky Blues continuing to start the 2024-25 season disappointingly and both supporters and players fearing the worst-a relegation battle at the bottom of the table.
Aside from the Sky Blues, who have been gradually moving in the right direction since Tuesday night, Saturday's hosts prevented a two-consecutive-match defeat by managing to draw with QPR at Loftus Road, and a second-half effort from young Tottenham Hotspur's Kieran Morgan saved face for Marti Cifuentes' squad.
American forward Haji Wright gave Coventry the lead in West London last time around, reeling off his fourth goal of the Championship season, with the 15-time international the only Sky Blues player who has found the back of the net multiple times in the second tier-a rather unpleasant fact for Sky Blues supporters.
And sitting in the bottom half of the table with only two victories in as many games in the second tier of the 2024-25 season, it will indeed be a long season for Mark Robins and his men, with the 22nd-placed side lying only two points from the team occupying the last safe position of 21st, namely Plymouth Argyle, and monstrously ten points behind the 6th-placed Blackburn Rovers.
Of Coventry's two league maximums so far, one has been achieved at the CBS Arena, the most recent of which was achieved on October 1 against Blackburn, a team actively chasing a promotion place, the only goals coming from Jake Bidwell, Wright, and summer signing Brandon Thomas-Asante.
The Robins, led by caretaker Chris Hogg, played their game against Middlesbrough over the weekend and kept their run of winning as a visitor going after first-half goals from Anis Mehmeti and Yu Hirakawa. Against Stoke City on Tuesday, visitors were held to a 2-2 draw in the latest outing, although a late comeback by Nahki saw them coming back from two goals down.
On Tuesday, a seventh successive game with at least a point or a fourth league win of the season is in store for Bristol City as confidence grows for Ashton Gate after coming within a whisker of nipping at the heels of those in fourth, fifth, and sixth place following two good away performances.
Leeds United make the trip to Ashton Gate on Saturday looking to hit the ground running in their Championship race for promotion against Bristol City.
Leeds go as visitors chasing a top spot and a ticket for the Premier League, lifted by back-to-back wins and a run of six matches without defeat. Bristol City, the hosts, meanwhile, are also on an impressive six-game unbeaten run to keep hopes of securing a Championship playoff spot alive.
Bristol City enters Saturday's Ashton Gate clash with ambitions for the playoff rounds with their steady form in recent league matches.
Termed as the "11 matches," the Robins have managed to collect just 15 points, with the only two losses coming in August and September. These were offset against a win over Oxford United and a run of three draws with Swansea City, Sheffield Wednesday, and Cardiff City. It was in this period that manager Liam Manning also took some time off after the tragic loss of his son.
