Match Time & Date:

16:00
Prediction: 1-1
Coventry
St. Andrew’s Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Birmingham City and Coventry City. The Blues suffered a 1-0 loss to Preston in their last league match, with the team dropping to 19th position in the standings. Birmingham City are eager to escape the danger zone, but the game against Coventry will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The likes of Boyd-Munce, Jeacock, and McEachran are all likely to miss the game with injuries. Mark Robins’ troops, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-0 loss to Reading, with the team beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in midweek. The Sky Blues are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Birmingham, and we predict that they are going to hold Aitor Karanka’s troops to a draw. Defender Kyle McFadzean returns to contention after serving his ban in midweek.
