Our prediction for this Championship match:
After failing to spoil Ipswich Town’s party at Portman Road, Coventry City will look to get back on course when they take on Birmingham City on Matchday 20. The Sky Blues aim to move closer to the top half of the table and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Blues. Both Kasey Palmer and Fabio Tavares are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the home team.
Birmingham City, meanwhile, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Sheffield Wednesday, losing to Blackburn Rovers, while sharing the spoils with Rotherham United. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Birmingham City are not regarded as good travellers. Birmingham City defender Ethan Laird limped off with injury in a goalless draw with Rotherham United, with Cody Drameh likely to step up. All Alfie Chang, Keshi Anderson, George Hall, and Tyler Roberts should miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Coventry):
Nicknamed the Sky Blues, Coventry City are an English football club that compete in the League One. Coventry City, who were founded on August 13, 1883 as Singers FC, wear sky blue kit when playing on home soil, whilst their away colour is white.
Aston Villa and Leicester City are considered the club’s main rivals, but they have rivalry with fellow West Midlands clubs Wallsall and Burton Albion as well. Coventry City have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the FA Cup in the 1986/1987 season, with the team beat Charlton Athletic in the two-legged final. They share stadium with Birmingham City, with both clubs playing their home games at St. Andrew’s Stadium.
Built in December, 1906, St. Andrew’s Stadium can hold up to 29,409 spectators. Dion Dublin is one of the most famous Coventry City players, with the legendary centre-forward scoring 61 goals in 145 appearances for the club in the league.
