The EFL Championship match between Coventry City and Rotherham United will take place at Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday at 1:15 am IST.
Coventry City will face Rotherham United on Tuesday night, aiming to win and improve their position in the Championship. Coventry has slipped to ninth place in the league table, while Rotherham is struggling at the bottom and almost certain to be relegated.
Coventry City has a FA Cup quarter-final match against Wolverhampton Wanderers coming up, but their manager, Mark Robins, is frustrated with their recent drop in form in the league. They lost 3-0 to Preston North End and 2-1 to West Bromwich Albion, which has left them five points away from a playoff spot. Coventry doesn’t have any more matches against teams directly competing for the playoffs, so they need to win matches like this one to stay in contention. Although they’ve only lost twice at their home ground, the CBS Arena, in 17 games this season, they’ve only won seven, which could give their opponents, Rotherham United, some confidence.
Rotherham United has been on a seven-game losing streak in the Championship, which has pushed them 19 points away from safety. With only 11 matches left, they’re almost certain to be relegated to League One. Their manager, Leam Richardson, has to adopt an attacking approach in this match. However, Rotherham hasn’t won a single away game in the Championship this season, only managing to collect four points and score 13 goals on the road. The last time they avoided defeat away from home was when they drew 1-1 against Middlesbrough on January 20th. So, despite their need to go on the offensive, their poor away record suggests it might be a tough task for them.
Coventry City probable starting lineup: Wilson, Thomas, Latibeaudiere, Binks, Van Ewijk, Eccles, Torp, Dasilva, O’Hare, Palmer, Simms
Rotherham United probable starting lineup: Johansson, Odoffin, Peltier, Humphreys, Kioso, Rinomhota, Tiehi, Clucas, Ferguson, Hugill, Wyke
