A lunchtime kickoff in the Championship on Saturday afternoon brings us a battle of the blues, with Coventry City playing host to Birmingham City. The Sky Blues and the Blues are sixth and eighth in the league standings, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Coventry City have made a promising start to the season, as they are currently one of only two teams, along with league leaders Middlesbrough, that have yet to lose a game after six rounds.
However, the Sky Blues will want to turn more of their good performances into wins. Four of their six league matches to date ended level, including each of the last three following a goalless draw against Leicester last weekend.
Notably, the hosts have only lost three home league games in 2025, and those were against the three teams that earned promotion last season - Burnley, Leeds and Sunderland.
Meanwhile, Birmingham will be pleased with the start they’ve made upon returning to the Championship, level on points with their upcoming opponents, albeit with a slightly different record (W3 D1 L2).
The Blues ground out a 1-0 victory against Swansea at home last week, bringing an end to a three-match losing streak that included bowing out of the EFL Cup 1-0 to Port Vale.
The visitors have failed to score in their last two away league games and have not won a match in any competition at this venue since February 2009.

Our Coventry City vs Birmingham Prediction
While Coventry City would have wanted more than 10 points at this point in the season, they will see this as a very good opportunity to add three more to their tally, given their record on their home patch.
Birmingham, on the other hand, will be chuffed with their return over the first six matchdays, but they’ve not tasted victory in these parts since 2009, and we feel they’ll struggle to change that record this weekend. Our Coventry City vs Birmingham prediction is Coventry City draw no bet.
