Match preview: Derby vs Coventry

Derby and Coventry will face off at Pride Park Stadium in a Championship duel. Historically, this venue is favourable for the home team, who have recorded 1 victory and 2 draws in the last 3 encounters here. Their most recent meeting at this ground was on 11 March 2025, which ended in a 2-0 win for Derby County, with goals from Marcus Harness (48 ′) and Matthew Clarke (23 ′). The home advantage could play a crucial role, as Coventry shows significant contrasts in their home and away performances.

Team analysis: Derby

The home side approach this match after a defeat in their league opener against Stoke City, losing by 3-1. They tend to perform similarly both at home and away, with their last 30 matches showing 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses as visitors compared to 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses at home. They come into this fixture following a penalty shootout victory over West Bromwich Albion (2-3). Derby has recorded 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses from their last 10 competitive home matches. Defensive solidity has been a concern, conceding goals in 7 of those 10 matches, and in their home games, there’s a tendency for fewer goals, with 10 of the last 23 finishing under 1.5 goals and 16 of those ending with under 2.5 goals. Out of 15 games, they have only managed to reverse the score when conceding first in 1 of the 5 occasions.

Derby County enters this encounter with a recent penalty triumph over West Brom in the first round of the EFL Cup 2025/26. Their last Championship match ended in a defeat to Stoke City (3-1). The home team typically aligns in a 4-4-2 formation, with Ebou Adams and Carlton Morris leading the attacking line. Notably, Kenzo Goudmijn orchestrates the offensive plays. The squad will miss Curtis Nelson, Lars-Jørgen Salvesen, Kane Wilson, Sandre Langås, and Patrick Agyemang due to physical issues.

Coventry City arrives at this match after a 1-0 win against Luton in the first round of the EFL Cup 2025/26. In their recent league match, they shared the spoils in a 0-0 draw with Hull. The visiting team typically plays in a 4-3-3 formation, favouring a direct style with quick transitions and solid defensive organisation.
