Coventry vs Birmingham Prediction & Betting tips
The promoted team from League One from Coventry welcomes the footballers from Birmingham on matchday 12 in the championship. In the previous year, they were only just able to prevent the reverse process as 20th in the final bill. Both teams have lost their last two league games and occupy a place at the bottom of the table.
This applies even more to the hosts in a negative sense: the newcomer has five points less than the guests and is currently in the last non-relegation place. For the match at St. Andrews Stadium between Coventry and Birmingham, the tip includes that both will score.
Coventry :
The Sky Blues played first class 20 years ago, but in the recent past they have wandered through a deep sporting valley. The relegation took place in the fourth basement of League Two. With his promotion to the championship, the FA Cup winner from 1987 is now at least second class again.
The start with only two wins and two draws after eleven rounds showed that this season is only about keeping the class. In this context, coach Mark Robins cannot be satisfied with the performance of his defense so far. On average, she conceded more than two hits per league game – worst value in the championship!
On the other hand, the attack is reliable. Only four of the eleven league games were not scored and none of the weakest eight placed teams in the table has more hits than the 21st in the tableau – including the upcoming opponent.
The combination of a shaky defense and a solid storm means that the games of the West Midlands kicker are always full of goals: 3.2 hits on average. Otherwise only the Blackburn Rovers have this high value. However, the use of top striker Matthew Godden is currently questionable.
The 29-year-old scored the most goals at City by a clear margin in the promotion season and is currently the most dangerous player in Coventry’s ranks again with four goals and two assists. Most recently, Godden had to pass due to an injury, but the two-week break could have made the attacker recover and return to the field.
Birmingham :
As mentioned at the beginning, Birmingham almost relegated last season and the reason was a miserable defense. Only the bottom of the table, Hull and then newcomer Luton Town, conceded more hits than City’s defense. After the disappointing season, the Blues decided to change coach.
So now the Spanish coach Aitor Karanka, who played as a player at Real Madrid, among others, swings the scepter in Birmingham. He knows about British football as he has already looked after Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough, but before his current engagement he was without a coaching job for a year and a half.
His debut at City can be described as expandable. After almost a dozen league games, Karanka has a win rate of around 27 percent (3-4-4). In view of the balanced nature of the encounter, Coventry against Birmingham have the odds for a draw on top of that with value.
The prediction is underpinned by the most recent four duels between the teams, each of which ended with a draw after regular time. In addition, three of Birmingham’s five guest appearances this season have already ended with a division of points. Middlesbrough alone tops this number, but has also played one more game abroad.
