Middlesbrough

"Boro" has had a fluctuating season in the Championship, with 11 wins, an equal number of losses, and three draws. In the last round, they managed a hard-fought 2-1 victory away against Huddersfield. In that game, with the score level, Jonathan Howson missed a penalty, but subsequently scored after a corner kick, securing the win for his team. This mentioned victory marked the third in four matches, indicating good form. The team currently stands ninth in the championship, trailing the top six by 3 points.

It's worth noting Middlesbrough's success in the English League Cup, where the club has reached the semi-finals and will face Chelsea. Eight players will miss this match due to injuries.

Coventry City

Coventry is currently enjoying a positive period, going unbeaten in six consecutive matches (3 wins and 3 draws). In the last round, the team missed out on a home victory against Swansea, as the opponent equalized in the 90+3 minute, resulting in a 2-2 draw. The club sits 12th in the league table, trailing the playoff zone by 5 points, a gap that is quite surmountable. Importantly, there are no personnel losses for this confrontation.

Statistics and match prediction

The first-round encounter concluded with a resounding 3-0 home victory for Coventry, although the hosts did not dominate as much as the scoreboard suggested. This promises a clash between direct competitors, both in good form. Middlesbrough is favored due to the home factor, although avenging the defeat in the first round won't be easy. We consider a bet on both teams scoring to be reasonable in this scenario.
