Coventry hosts Middlesbrough in round 34 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 2nd at St. Andrew's Stadium (Birmingham)
Coventry spent many seasons in the Premier League. Moreover, the Sky Blues were considered as strong middle peasants of the British elite division. But they had to go through a long and deep recession and managed to return from League 1 in the summer. Of course, the task for this season is to gain a foothold in the Championship. And so far, Coventry is holding above the relegation zone. On February 20, the Sky Blues managed to create a real sensation, beating one of the leaders of the current draw, Brentford. Then there was a defeat to Swansea. But on Saturday, Coventry was able to at least not lose on the pitch of Blackburn - James scored after the break and brought a draw.

Middlesbrough has significantly stepped up, when compared with the last draw. Then the popular team was at the bottom of the standings and finished in 17th place. But now the Reds have a chance to get into the top six. The reason is that the boss managed to lure Neil Warnock to the post of head coach. However, Middlesbrough is too unstable. Recently it gained two consecutive victories over Huddersfield and Reading. But last week was unsuccessful for the club. First, there was a 1-3 defeat to Bristol City. And the same result could happen last Saturday. A direct competitor, Cardiff, opened the scoring (Morrison did it) and held the lead for most of the second half. But ex-football player of Manchester United and Sunderland, McNair, was able to snatch one point for his team in the 82nd minute. However, the gap to the sixth Bournemouth is five points. Do Warnock and the Reds believe that they can make some noise in the spring?
After 2012, the teams did not meet until this season. In the fall, Middlesbrough managed to put the squeeze on the newcomer in the last quarter of an hour and gained a 2-0 victory. Coventry is not hopeless, but Middlesbrough and Warnock will surely come to win. We'll bet on the visitors’ victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Middlesbrough to win with 0.0 handicap
