Coventry v Ipswich

Coventry vs Ipswich Preview

Four matches without a win in the Championship have resulted with Coventry City dropping down to ninth place in the English second tier table where the Sky Blues now trail sixth placed West Brom by an eight-point margin with just two league games of the campaign remaining.

Needless to say, Coventry City fans are extremely disappointed in their side as a play-off spot seemed to beckon for some time with the west midlands club looking virtually guaranteed of a top six finish especially as the hosts had previously racked up four wins in five games with victories gained over Rotherham United, Watford, Huddersfield Town and most impressive of all, a 2-1 home win against Leeds United.

However, Mark Robins's side have lost three of their subsequent four games in the Championship with losses incurred against Southampton, Birmingham City and Hull City along with being held to a disappointing 0-0 draw away from home at Blackburn Rovers, leaving Coventry City in the domestic second tier for another season.

Despite putting together a previously solid looking nine-match unbeaten sequence on home soil at their CBS Arena, the Sky Blues have lost three of their last five home games, slipping to losses at the hands of Preston NE, Cardiff City and Hull City respectively.

Ipswich Town gained a point in a tricky outing away from home at Hull City on Saturday night which also became the Tractor Boys' third stalemate on the trot following previous draws with Watford 0-0 and a 1-1 draw at home with Middlesbrough but the bigger picture still remains promising for Kieran McKenna's side heading into this upcoming clash.

The visitors have been handed just two defeats out of their last 15 matches overall in the Championship which has continued Ipswich Town's staggering rise in recent times and they are now level on points with second placed Leeds United with just two games remaining.

Nine wins within these last 15 games suggests Ipswich Town could prove to be too strong for an out-of-sorts Coventry City side who now look disengaged and in danger of appearing to have already ‘clocked off'.

Four of Ipswich Town's nine victories have been achieved on their travels with wins collected at the likes of Millwall, Swansea City, Plymouth Argyle and Blackburn Rovers respectively, so McKenna's side will be confident they can produce another winning display in the west midlands on Tuesday night.

Coventry City v Ipswich Town Verdict

Coventry City's recent implosion is a disappointing way to end what had been a successful campaign which included reaching the semi-final of the FA Cup but Ipswich Town have the greater incentive to pick up all three points here as they approach the finishing line.
