Coventry secured all three points against Reading courtesy of goals from Matt Godden and Gustavo Hamer. The result extended their unbeaten run to five games in the second tier, winning two matches in the process. The Sky Blues have lost only one match since the beginning of February and the impressive run of form has helped them move into the playoff spot. Mark Robins’s side have been bit inconsistent at home this term having recorded ten wins from their 22 league-matches at Coventry Building Society Arena. On a positive note, Coventry are unbeaten in their last five home-matches against Saturday’s opponents.
Birmingham, on the other hand, have ensured their survival in the Championship for at least one more season and will be looking to finish the season on a high. The Blues were unable to build on a resounding victory at seventh-placed Millwall just over a week ago after losing out to relegation-threatened Blackpool at St. Andrew’s last time out. Morgan Rogers latched on to Birmingham defender Kevin Long’s poor back pass and set up Ian Poveda to slot home into an empty net. It was John Eustace’s side’s 19th second tier defeat of the season. Meanwhile, the Blues played out a goalless draw against Coventry in the reverse fixture in September last year.
