Prediction: 2-0
Birmingham City
After holding Leicester City to a goalless draw at King Power Stadium, Coventry City will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they face Birmingham City on Saturday afternoon. The Sky Blues are seen as one of the main candidates for promotion, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to return to the Premier League at the end of the season. Both Oliver Dovin (goalkeeper) and Joel Latibeaudiere remain in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
The Blues, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Swansea City, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Coventry City will return to winning ways this weekend. Defender Alexander Cochrane is rated doubtful for the visiting team after picking up a knock in the last league match.
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.
