Competition: Championship

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 5/6 @ 888sport

In what could prove to be another lively contest on Friday night, Coventry will host Birmingham from behind closed doors this weekend.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a worrying run of form before the international break, Coventry find themselves battling it out at the foot of the Championship table. In their 11 second-tier contests so far this season, they have recorded just a pair of wins, two draws and seven defeats, scoring 12 and conceding 23 in return. Along with marking their return to action holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the relegation zone, it should be noted that Coventry hold the worst defensive record in the division. As for their previous run of results, along with back-to-back Championship defeats, Friday’s hosts had lost four of their last five second-tier contests. It is also worth highlighting, each of the Blues’ last three straight matchups have seen both teams find the net.

As for the visitors, also previously in the midst of another struggle before entering the international break, Birmingham are another side who are seeking a real bounce. In their 11 Championship contests so far this season, they have recorded three wins, four draws and four defeats, scoring nine and conceding 11 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 13 out of a possible 33, they open Friday’s fixtures sat in 17th spot and five points adrift of the play-off chase. As for their recent run of results, much like this weekend’s hosts, Birmingham were also previously hit with back-to-back Championship defeats. With each of their last four second-tier contests also finishing with both teams finding the net by the final whistle, we’re backing a similar outcome this week.
