That winning streak ended with a 2-1 home defeat against Southampton. Coventry had 2.61 and 20 shots during the rare home loss.
Lampard’s team responded with a confident 3-0 triumph at Swansea. Brandon Thomas-Asante, Matt Grimes and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto scored in the first half and Coventry had 2.21 XG.
Derby Out of Form on the Road

Eustace’s side hit back after the Millwall loss with a 1-0 away win against relegation-threatened Portsmouth. Derby faced 27 shots and had just 33% possession.
