Coventry City enter the match in excellent form and on an impressive winning streak. The team has won five straight Championship matches, reclaiming the Championship crown. Coventry are particularly confident at home, where they rarely falter against mid-table teams.
Preston are going through a tough stretch: they have failed to win five matches in a row, losing three and drawing two. In away matches, Preston has been hesitant and regularly makes defensive errors, as evidenced by goalless defeats to Blackburn and Millwall.
The teams drew in the first leg, but Coventry City looks the better team at home. Coventry has a solid defense capable of neutralizing Preston's less-than-scoring attack, as well as a variety of attacking options. The visitors look demoralized and are unlikely to be able to put up a fight against the accelerating favorites.
