THE PREDICTION
Coventry are coming off the back of a vital 2-0 victory against struggling Sheffield Wednesday to create a bigger gap between themselves and the bottom three. Here they look to make it three wins in four Championship games vs Birmingham who are enduring a horror season at home. Aitor Karanka’s side have lost eight of their last nine matches at St Andrew’s. It’s difficult to see that changing against a Coventry side who have been playing all of their home games at St Andrew’s this season and as such won’t see this as an away match, with no fans allowed in the ground to tip the scale Birmingham’s way. Taking all this into account, the smart play here appears to be Coventry double chance.
