Coventry City have been one of the surprise packages in the Championship this season, spending the majority of the campaign in the top six. Mark Robins’ men, who were tipped to struggle before a ball was kicked, have won nine, drawn four and lost five.
Coventry have been sensational at home this season. After years away from the Coventry Building Society Arena, City have made the most of it since returning. They have won seven of their opening nine home league matches. Last time out at home, Robins’ side beat Bristol City 3-2.
After a draw at Sheffield United last weekend, can Coventry get back to winning ways here? The hosts are the odds-on favourites at 3/4.
Birmingham City Preview – Can the Blues avoid a third straight loss?
Birmingham City have had a mixed bag of results at the start of this season. Overall, Lee Bowyer’s boys have picked up six wins, suffered eight losses and drawn four times. They are down in 15th spot with 22 points to their name.
After five losses and a draw from six, Birmingham bounced back with three wins in a row, beating Swansea, Middlesbrough and Bristol City. However, they have gone on to lose two on the spin, falling to disappointing defeats to Reading and Hull City.
