Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Middlesbrough
Coventry City play host to Middlesbrough at their Coventry Building Society Arena on day 6 of the new Championship campaign. The Sky Blues aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to QPR, and a win over Boro should see them climb to the playoffs berth. Coventry have already recorded three wins in the new season, and it should come as no surprise the bookies see them as favourites to pick up all three points from the match.
Both Liam Kelly and Josh Eccles are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Boro, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the 2021/22 Championship campaign, but seeing that Egypt midfielder Sam Morsy is banned for the match, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. Onel Hernandez is quarantined, while Marcus Browne is out of contention with an ACL injury.

Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2).
