Coventry City vs Birmingham City Prediction: Coventry City has dominated their recent fixtures against Birmingham City

Coventry City is set to host Birmingham City on Saturday at Coventry Building Society Arena. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Coventry City form

The Sky Blues are currently in the midst of a tight battle for a top-six finish. After initially struggling this season and appearing to be relegation candidates, Mark Robins’ side has climbed the standings in the English Championship to occupy fifth place with just two matches left. This is largely thanks to an impressive run of form that began in early February, with the team losing only one of their last 15 games. Coventry is coming into the game with seven points from their last three matches, including a 2-1 victory over Reading, who are fighting against relegation.

Coventry City Predicted lineup

Ben Wilson, Luke McNally, Callum Doyle, Jonathan Panzo, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Josh Eccles, Liam Kelly, Gustavo Hamer, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Matt Godden, Viktor Gyokeres.

Birmingham City Form

Looking ahead to the upcoming match at the Coventry Building Society Arena, it seems that Birmingham City have been struggling to maintain their positive momentum as of late. Although they had won back-to-back matches in April, they have only managed to secure one victory in their past five matches. In fact, they have suffered two defeats in their last three games, including a worrying loss at home to second-from-bottom Blackpool in their most recent match. While Birmingham currently sits ten points clear of the relegation zone, it appears that they no longer have much to play for in the final few weeks of the season. Therefore, we predict that Coventry City, who have been in excellent form recently and are still in contention for a top-six finish, will likely come out on top in this match on Saturday.

Birmingham City's possible lineup

Neil Etheridge, Maxime Colin, Kevin Long, Marc Roberts, Auston Trusty, Krystian Bielik, Juninho Bacuna, Reda Khadra, Jobe Bellingham, Tahith Chong, Lucas Jutkiewicz.
