Coventry City will host Leicester in a Championship contest on Saturday lunchtime. The Sky Blues are top of the league at present while the Foxes are 12th ahead of our prediction on this match.
Although they are six points clear at the top, things have not been going well for Coventry of late, just two wins in nine games in all competitions. They both came at the CBS Arena where they have won nine of their 12 games so far in the Championship.
Carl Rushworth has been a rock for them between the sticks, helping them to a 0-0 draw when these teams met in September. Leicester had nine shots on target that day, although they were not all strong scoring opportunities, one of nine clean sheets they have kept in the league.
It’s been a difficult campaign for Leicester, one of the favourites for promotion before the season started, their most recent home win over West Brom saw them sneak back into the top half.
Three of their last five away league games have resulted in a loss, their sole win coming at Derby in early December, picking up a point at Bristol City in a game where they led 2-0 at half time.
