Coventry City hosts Norwich City in round 30 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 17th at St. Andrew's Stadium (Birmingham)
Until the beginning of the century, Coventry City was one of the tough middle peasants of the Premier League. But then the team experienced a sharp decline and dropped to League 2, the 4th division of the country. The rise began only in recent years - in 2018, the Sky Blues managed to return to League One and won it in the last draw. Of course, Coventry has certain problems and fights for keeping its place in the Championship. There was a good segment for Mark Robins' charges at the end of 2020, when they did not lose eight matches in a row. Still, Coventry is an extremely unstable team. The Sky Blues earned only one point in the last three rounds, having gained a goalless draw with one of the favorites (Watford).

The Canaries have a reputation as a football elevator for a reason. They visited the Premier League in the previous season but did not stay there, as had happened more than once before. But now the status plays into the hands of Daniel Farke's team (it is noteworthy that the German was not fired, despite the failure in 2019/2020). In general, Norwich City justifies the status of the favorite of the current Championship draw. Teemu Pukki and his partners have been in the lead for a long time. But there was some decline. After four victories in a row (three in the Championship and one in the cup, just over Coventry), the Canaries couldn’t earn a single point and even score a goal in three rounds in a row. Their results began to worsen after a cup defeat to Barnsley, and they lost their margin over the pursuers in the Championship. And Norwich managed to return to its level only on Saturday (a 4:1 victory over Stoke City).
In recent years, the clubs have played against each other only three times. Norwich won two cup matches in 2016 and last month. But in the 1st round of the Championship, Coventry was able to pull out an away draw (1-1). As the last round showed, Norwich came out of the recession. The Canaries must continue to gain victories, and Coventry is unlikely to prevent this. We recommend betting on the victory of Norwich.
Prediction for the match: Norwich to win
