Wrexham are the latest team to attempt to stop the Coventry juggernaut. The Sky Blues are top of the league, and their results have been pretty sensational en route to getting there.

Their goalscoring exploits over the first twelve matches are historic, and Wrexham will have a task to keep out the Coventry forwards. Wrexham are coming into this match reeling from a Welsh derby defeat to Cardiff in the EFL cup on Tuesday night.

📈 Wrexham v Coventry Form & Tactics

Wrexham are on course to successfully navigate their realistic aim for this season. They are on 14 points from 12 matches and sit in midtable, five points off the relegation zone and five points off the top six, so they should consolidate their position in the Championship.

Recent form has seen a lot of draws; four out of their last six matches have ended 1-1, with a 1-0 win and a 1-0 defeat rounding out the results, but Wrexham have been competitive in all of those matches. They have suffered from a creative drop off, so goals have been at a premium, but Phil Parkinson has clearly tightened things up since the early part of the season from a defensive perspective.

Wrexham are actually fourth in the whole Championship for big chances created, but 13th for expected goals in total. Interestingly, they are second for accurate long balls per match, which gives us an indication of their style as well. Though being 21st for expected goals against is a concern, the majority of that was from the earlier half of the season so far.

It is difficult to imagine a team in better form than Coventry. Still unbeaten in the league, with identical records of four wins and two draws, both at home and away, a goal difference of +25 after 12 matches is a record for the club at this stage of the season.

They have won the last six Championship matches in a row, and they dominate the league in stats as well as results. The Sky Blues sit top of expected goals, shots on target, big chances created, and touches in the opponents’ box. They are, however, only fourth for expected goals against if teams can get at them.

📔 Wrexham v Coventry Formation & Team News

Wrexham tend to play with a three at the back system, usually a 3-5-2 with variants depending on how the midfield is set up with roles and personnel. George Dobson has been the most used midfielder, with Lewis O’Brien and Matty James being the other two midfielders that are usually in the mix. Kieffer Moore is the leader of the line, and Josh Windass is the usual first choice to support him. Width is only usually supplied by wing-backs; Issa Kabore and Liberato Cacace are first choice in those positions.

Of those players mentioned above, only Dobson and O’Brien started against Cardiff, though a few others came on to try and win the game. There are no fresh injury concerns, and a first-choice defence and attack will be expected to be named by Phil Parkinson.

There are rumours that Frank Lampard will consider switching to a 3-4-3 formation for this match to try and match up some aspects of play wmours that Frank Lampard is considering changing systems to a 3-4-3 to negate some of Wrexham's big positives. They have been very effectively using a 4-2-3-1 system in recent weeks, but perhaps the best time to adapt is when confidence is high. Certainly, wherever Brandon Thomas-Asante plays at the moment, he seems to find form and find the net.

Milan van Ewijk is suspended for this match due to yellow card accumulation, so it is likely that Kaine Kesler-Hayden will come in for his first Coventry start in the league since his summer arrival. If it is a 3-4-3, Tastuhiro Sakamoto could be the one to make way for an extra centre-back, who is likely to be Luke Woolfenden.
