📰 Team News: Coventry City
There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Coventry City gaffer Frank Lampard to contend with due to a largely intact group. Ben Wilson (Knee injury) is out of contention.
📰 Team News: Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Aidan Morris (Knee injury), Darragh Lenihan (Ankle surgery) and Riley McGree (unknown injury) are those who can’t be considered.
✨ Prediction
It looks to us like Middlesbrough will need to play some great football to be putting goals past a Coventry City outfit who will most probably really run this game.
We think that it’s going to be a very comprehensive 3-0 win for Coventry City at full-time.
