Birmingham City - Coventry City predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Birmingham City will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Coventry City.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Coventry City are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.46 on them winning.

The hosts are coming on the back of an underwhelming 0:1 loss to Cardiff City. Though Birmingham City were playing as the home team, their sluggish performance left them unable to earn a lead for half the match. Things continued going downhill after halftime, which is when they conceded the deciding goal.

While Coventry City’s previous loss is bad news for them, it’s hard to say anyone was surprised. They were fighting against overwhelming odds as visitors, so the narrow 2:1 loss against Southampton was in line with most betting predictions.

The recent match history for Birmingham City doesn’t seem promising if you’re looking for some excitement. The previous two games they played as hosts ended with very little goals – less than 2 in total in both instances.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive Coventry victory from the previous Championship season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

Thanks to a lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams will have their full rosters ready for an exciting game.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
