Coventry take on the visitors Birmingham in the round 20 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Friday, December 8th at Coventry Building Society Arena (Coventry).
Coventry provided hope for their fans in the last season for a long-awaited return to the Premier League. They accumulated 70 points, finishing in fifth place, and secured their spot in the playoffs by defeating Middlesbrough. However, at Wembley, in a crucial moment, Luton won a prolonged penalty shootout after a draw in regular time. Fans hoped that in the new season under Mark Robins' guidance, the team could improve and contend for direct promotion to the EPL. However, they have only managed to win a few times so far. The recent victories against Millwall and Plymouth at the end of November offer a glimmer of hope. However, Ipswich, one of the leaders, proved to be formidable, defeating Coventry 2-1.

Birmingham have created problems for itself. After modest results in the previous season, the Blues had a successful start. While they might not have been ready for direct promotion, they held a top-6 position with decent statistics. However, in early October, the project's management initiated a change by appointing Rooney as the head coach. Wayne started with three losses and only secured a victory on the sixth attempt against the underdog Sheffield Wednesday. However, they suffered a 2-4 defeat against Blackburn on the road, and the match against Rotherham ended in a goalless draw, leaving the team in fifteenth place.
Birmingham last won in 2011. In the last 10 matches, there were 8 draws, and Coventry won twice, both in April of last year and this year. The hosts are considered favorites, but they are not significantly stronger than the visitors. We bet on an away win for the Blues with a handicap of +1 goal.
Prediction for the match: Birmingham to win with +1.5 handicap.
