Thanks to a completely healthy group available for selection, the Middlesbrough boss Neil Warnock doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this game.

💭 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Middlesbrough will surely be able to score a goal against this Coventry City lineup, although that possibly won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 win for Coventry City at full-time. Looking forward to this.
