Coventry City were among the teams that registered wins in the opening weekend and will go to their League Cup game against Northampton Town looking to secure a second round slot. Against Nottingham, Coventry rose from a looming loss, with two goals inside the final 10 minutes to cancel Nottingham’s first half opener. It was a good break for Coventry, who had finished preseason on a low, with four straight losses. Now they’ll need to strengthen defensively, having managed no clean sheet in the last nine matches. In their last five matches, Coventry have managed more than one goal in one game and failed to score completely in three.

Northampton have had a much stronger defensive output, keeping two straight clean sheets ahead of this clash. They’ve also been stronger in attack, compared to Coventry, scoring in three of their last four matches and they have lost two of their last five matches. In their last 10 matches, Northampton have failed to score in just three and they will be focused on a better season this time, having been relegated from League One. A key area of improvement will be in their away matches, having failed to win any of the last 19 but three draws in the last five should give them some hope.
