Coventry City and Middlesbrough meet in a clash that could have major implications at the top of the Championship standings. As both sides look sharp up front, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the horizon. Frank Lampard’s Coventry come into the game after a goalless draw with Oxford, but their home numbers remain impressive: 2.00 points per game at home, a 60% home win rate, and an expected goals of 1.92 in front of their own fans. Defensively, they’ve conceded just 0.8 goals per home match, suggesting solidity that will be tested here.
Middlesbrough, meanwhile, are the league’s form side with five wins in a row, scoring 1.7 goals per match overall and an imposing 3.20 goals per game away from home. The Boro also show strong underlying numbers with an overall expected goals of 1.74, although their away defence (1.60 conceded) can be vulnerable. The fact that there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team definitely suits our betting angle.
As both sides average over 2.3 goals per game combined, there is big value in betting on BTTS, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Draw (small stake).
This Championship match will be played on Monday 16 February 2026 at 20:00.
