Middlesbrough - Coventry City predictions

Kickoff starts at 16:00 on 01/01/2024 played @ Riverside Stadium refereed by David Webb

Middlesbrough might be heading into this game as firm favourites to get a win but they will have their work cut out for them as Coventry City are known to be highly unpredictable and capable of pulling a surprise when it is least expected.

It would be a minor miracle for The Sky Blues to win at The Boro, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.10 price on most online sportsbooks.

Most experts and fans predicted an easy victory for Middlesbrough in the previous round against Huddersfield Town , and the team delivered albeit underwhelmingly. The 1:2 victory was as narrow as it could be, however, so their form is far from perfect.

The Sky Blues’s latest home game performance was fairly dull, and it didn’t show them in a great light. That particular bout against Swansea City produced no winners in either half of the match, resulting in a 2:2 draw.

Coventry don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this Championship season. Middlesbrough narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

Monday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.85 if you use the Betfair sportsbook.
