City to Extend Unbeaten Run Over Boro

Despite losing to strugglers Plymouth Argyle and Luton Town in the last two, Coventry’s play-off destiny is in their hands. They are level on points with Millwall, but City’s better goal difference puts them in the driving seat.

Frank Lampard has done an exceptional job since arriving in Coventry, firing the club into the top six. They still have work to do, but Lampard’s men will fancy their chances of securing maximum points in front of their own fans.

Middlesbrough look likely to miss out, as they are two points behind Coventry. However, if they win and Millwall and Blackburn Rovers drop points, Michael Carrick’s side will sneak into the play-offs on the final day.

After taking just four points from a possible 15, Middlesbrough’s play-off hopes have been dented. Last weekend, Boro failed to beat Norwich City at the Riverside Stadium, drawing 0-0.
