Only two points separate these two in League Two and so there should be a pretty epic battle on Friday night between these two. Wycombe holds the two-point advantage over Coventry but they will be taking on the best defence in the league. But then that Coventry defence will have to try and withstand the pressure of a powerful Wycombe attack.

Wycombe WanderersCoventry Form
Coventry rolled out a home win over Cheltenham last weekend to leave them with just the one loss in their last five league games played. They have the best defensive record in the entire league but the clean sheets have been drying up for them. The Sky Blues have conceded in each of their last six league outings now so they are just wobbling a bit. At home, though they have only conceded the five goals all season from eleven games, but they have only netted the twelve goals themselves. Only 18% of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals so it’s worth looking under. 67% of their home goals have occurred in the second half of matches.
Wycombe Form
While Coventry have the defence, Wycombe have the attack. Wycombe have won three of their last five league games (D1 L1) but their successes have mostly been popping up on home soil. They are actually winless in their last five on the road, losing three of them and they haven’t been able to return many goals either. They have only netted one goal in their last four away games which is strange for such a strong attacking side. They have not won any game to nil this out on their travels and that is because their defence hasn’t been the most reliable at all. Wycombe have conceded more goals than any other side in the current top half of the division.
Head to Head News
There have been only the five previous meetings between the two clubs and this will be the first league clash between them. From the five previous meetings Coventry are 4-1 up over Wycombe and they have won three two previous home games against them. Four of those five meetings all went over 2.5 goals.

Top Betting Tips Coventry v Wycombe
Wycombe have not been performing out on the road lately and that means that they could struggle to break down the Coventry defence. Coventry have not been as watertight as they have been for most of the season, so look for under 2.5 goals but Coventry can sneak it.
