Our prediction for this Championship match:
Coventry City and Norwich City square off against each other at Coventry Building Society Arena in what is expected to be an interesting Championship game. The start of the season has been a mixed bag for the Sky Blues, with the team losing to Stoke, beating Oxford, while sharing the spoils with Bristol City. Jamaica midfielder Kasey Palmer should be recalled to the starting XI following a couple of fine performances, while both Borges Rodrigues and Ben Sheaf remain in the recovery room.
The Canaries, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season, with the team still looking for their first win of the process. As Norwich City are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash, we are tempted to place our bets on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in a competitive match Norwich defeated Coventry 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Experienced forward Ashley Barnes should be the only absentee in the visiting 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.
