Coventry take on the visitors Ipswich in he round 24 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Monday, December 29th at Coventry Building Society Arena (Coventry).
Coventry were among the clubs with the longest-serving manager in Mark Robins. However, last season the problems dragged on for too long, and he was eventually dismissed, with the club turning to Lampard instead. That gamble almost paid off, as only extra time in the playoff clash against Sunderland stopped them. Still, “Super Frank” has taken another step forward with his team in the new campaign, and by winter Coventry not only reached the top of the Championship table but also managed to open up a gap, which is why they are now widely seen as the main favorites for promotion. There was an early exit from the League Cup, and December brought a couple of setbacks. In the previous round against Swansea, they finally returned to winning ways, securing a narrow but crucial 1–0 victory and three important points. Recent results show that Coventry remain very strong at home and generally control matches well. Even when performances dip slightly, they are still finding ways to grind out results.

Ipswich are not against new achievements. The Tractor Boys spent a long time stuck at a very modest level, despite their rich history and strong support. Everything changed with the arrival of their current manager, as the club produced an incredible surge and went through the Championship in just one season. At Premier League level, however, Ipswich failed to truly establish themselves, even though they were not outright outsiders. After dropping back down, the team are once again trying to become one of the division’s leaders, although the progress is not as convincing as it was in 2023/2024. Still, a place in the top six and a playoff push clearly remain realistic goals. In the last round against Millwall, who are also in good shape right now, Ipswich had to settle for a 0–0 draw. Their recent form suggests a solid defensive structure, but attacking efficiency has been inconsistent. Away from home, Ipswich often look more cautious, which sometimes limits their ability to take all three points.
All four most recent encounters were won by Town. That includes a 3–0 home victory over the current hosts at the beginning of December. It was important for the league leaders to secure a win last time, and now they need to keep the momentum going. The pick is that Coventry will manage to claim another victory.
Prediction for the match: Coventry to win.
