Coventry travels to the northeast on Saturday afternoon to face Middlesbrough in a Championship match. Boro currently sit 9th, while the Sky Blues are in 18th place, setting the stage for our prediction.
Middlesbrough has had a mixed season, unable to win or lose more than two games in a row. They recently secured a victory against Sheffield United after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bristol City at home.
One area for improvement is their goal-scoring at home; only West Brom in the top 14 has scored fewer home goals. Enhancing their attacking output will be crucial if they aim to challenge for the playoff spots.
Coventry had a solid season last year, finishing 9th in the league and reaching the FA Cup semifinals. However, they have struggled to replicate that form this season.
They might find motivation from their recent 3-2 win over Luton, where they came back from a 2-0 deficit to claim victory. This marked the third time this season they’ve scored three goals at home, but they’ve managed only three goals in total from six away matches.
