    Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Coventry City are in imperious form, sitting atop the Championship with 84 points from 41 matches. They have a 61% win rate, a +42 goal difference, and average over 2 goals per game. Sheffield Wednesday, by contrast, languish at the bottom with just one win and a points tally in the negative, owing to penalties or adjustments. Wednesday\u2019s defence has been breached 82 times, and their attack is the league\u2019s least potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
