Coventry have recorded 17 wins, 13 draws and 14 defeats from 44 championship games this season and their last success came against Leeds on April 6. After that, the Sky Blues lost their next four-games, including a FA Cup semi-final versus Manchester United on penalties. On Saturday, Mark Robins’ men ended their four-game losing run, courtesy of playing out a goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, despite playing the majority of the second-half with a man-less after Liam Kitching was sent off on the hour-mark. Meanwhile, it was their eighth clean sheet of the season.
Ipswich, on the other hand, are winless since the 3-2 victory over Southampton at the start of this month. After a narrow 1-0 loss to Norwich City on April 6, the Tractor Boys were held to three consecutive draws by the likes of Watford, Middlesbrough and Hull City. On Saturday, Kieran McKenna’s side shared the spoils with the Tigers despite taking the lead thrice through George Hirst’s opener and Omari Hitchinson’s brace. Nevertheless, taking six points from their final two games of the season will seal their promotion to the Premier League. Otherwise, they will probably have to rely the result of Leeds’ final fixture versus Southampton on May 4.
Coventry City probable starting lineup: Collins, Van Ewijk, Thomas, Latibeaudiere, Bidwell, O’Hare, Kelly, Eccles, Wright, Palmer, Simms
Ipswich Town probable starting lineup: Hladky, Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis, Morsy, Luongo, Burns, Chaplin, Hutchinson, Hirst
