📋 Team News: Coventry City
Joel Latibeaudiere (Knee injury) and Oliver Dovin (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be able to feature for Coventry City boss Frank Lampard.
We think that The Sky Blues should kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, utilising Carl Rushworth, Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Liam Kitching, Jay Dasilva, Matt Grimes, Victor Torp, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Jack Rudoni, B. Thomas-Asante and Haji Wright.
📰 Team News: Birmingham City
There’s a good chance that The Blues appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Ryan Allsop, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Christoph Klarer, Jack Robinson, Ethan Laird, Tomoki Iwata, Seung-ho Paik, Demarai Gray, Jay Stansfield, Lewis Koumas and Marvin Ducksch.
🧠 Prediction
We believe that Birmingham City are capable enough to score a goal against this Coventry City lineup, but that isn’t expected to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We are anticipating a close game with a 2-1 winning score for Coventry City when the full-time whistle blows. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
