It's one of the first games of Saturday's Championship action. Head to the Building Society Arena to watch Coventry City take on Birmingham in the seventh round of a packed and intense championship. It's a clash at the top of the table, with both teams on 10 points, enough to put them in the top 10. For Frank Lampard and his men, the goal is to catch up with the top two, Stoke City and Middlesbrough. They are two points behind, but the Bantams' form is worrying: no wins in their last four games. The Skyblues have just had three consecutive draws, which in football means one thing: treading water. In front of the sky blue crowd, a reaction is expected, as the standings could change in the event of a poor result this weekend...
FINALLY! Birmingham got back to winning ways in the league last week. While the Blues, a nickname Frank Lampard knows by heart, were on a negative run of three consecutive defeats on English soil, they beat Swansea by the smallest of margins (1-0). It was a victory that rewarded their dominance and, above all, their numerous attempts on goal. Now, the team coached by Chris Davies will have to work on their efficiency. With only one goal in four games, there is a scenario in which defeat could return, as the blue and whites have failed to find the back of the net.

Our Coventry City vs Birmingham Prediction
Birmingham will be looking to put their last two trips to the BS Arena behind them. The ideal result would be a repeat of the April 13, 2024, match, when the Blues won 3-0 at home. To do that, they need to score goals, which seems to be a problem for the visitors, especially away from home. The Bantams will be looking to take advantage of this weakness to get back on track in the league.
Our prediction for Coventry City vs. Birmingham: Coventry City or a draw and under 3.5 goals!
