Our prediction for this Championship match:
Coventry City will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Birmingham City when they take on Southampton in the Championship round 21. The Sky Blues have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches and they are surely capable of matching the Saints on home soil. The opposition back-line should have Callum O’Hare at bay as the 25-year-old midfielder scored a brace in the last league match, while forward Fabio Tavares misses out with an Achilles tendon problem.
The Saints, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Watford. Southampton are undefeated in the previous twelve league fixtures and, taking everything into account, we predict that they are going to grab something from the midweek clash. The likes of Ross Stewart, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Juan Larios 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.
