• Coventry have won seven of their last nine home league games

• QPR have lost eight of their last 11 away games

• Recommended bet: Coventry to win and both teams to score

Coventry have experienced play-off heartache in two of the last three seasons but they are as determined as ever to push for promotion and will be aiming for three points against QPR at the CBS Arena.

The Sky Blues have had a fairly quiet summer but seem to be reaping the rewards of maintaining a settled squad.

They were largely dominant in a 0-0 draw at home to Hull and showed a more clinical edge last weekend by winning 5-3 at Derby.

Frank Lampard’s side were rampant against the Rams and should fancy their chances against QPR, who have taken just one point from a possible six.

QPR are not among the fancied teams and their limitations were exposed last Saturday as they lost 2-1 at Watford.

Team news

Coventry could be short of depth in midfield with Ben Sheaf and Josh Eccles on the sidelines, while goalkeeper Oliver Dovin (knee) is a long-term absentee.

QPR Defenders Jake Clarke-Salter and Jimmy Dunne are unlikely to feature and Kwame Poku and Karamoko Dembele have not been involved since being forced off in the 1-1 draw at home to Preston.

Richard Kone made his debut in the 2-1 loss at Watford and is pushing for a start.

Prediction

Coventry showed quality and character in their thrilling 5-3 victory at Derby and they can serve up another high-scoring treat for their fans when hosting QPR in the West Midlands.

There have been a few grumbles about the lack of business done by the Sky Blues, but head coach Frank Lampard has remained pretty relaxed and will be largely content with his team’s start to the campaign.

Lampard’s side have racked up 38 shots and their xG (4.79) is the highest in the division.

Coventry are creating plenty of chances and they should have too much firepower for QPR, who are off to an uncertain start.

QPR could be in for a difficult season, although they have netted in four successive games and can keep that run going with a consolation goal this weekend.
