Coventry vs Ipswich Town Betting Tips: IPSWICH TO WIN
With only two rounds left in the regular season of the second division, Coventry finds themselves in a slump with little to play for, while Ipswich could capitalize on the host's dire situation to earn vital points that would practically put them on the brink of a remarkable return to the Premier League after 22 years!
Despite halting their four-game losing streak across all competitions with a dull goalless draw at Ewood Park against Blackburn over the weekend, Mark Robinson's troops remain deeply disappointed as their recent terrible run of form has shattered their dreams of entering the playoffs for the second consecutive year.
In front of their CBS Arena faithful, the Sky Blues come out dejected, having suffered two heavy blows at this very venue in the past week, firstly enduring a gut-wrenching defeat to Man Utd in the FA Cup semifinal after a penalty shotout drama, then waving goodbye to their hopes of a back-to-back playoff finish with a painful 2-3 loss to Hull.
Meanwhile, Ipswich failed to capitalize on Leeds' 0-4 demolition by Queens Park Rangers as they settled for a point in an electrifying six-goal stalemate against playoff hopefuls Hull at MKM Stadium, despite being in the lead on three occasions, prolonging their winless streak to four second-tier matches and recording their third draw on the bounce.
With the same number of points as second-placed Leeds United but with a game in hand, the midweek visit to CBS Arena presents a golden opportunity for the Tractor Boys to climb back into the automatic promotion spots, and they'll be confident of achieving the desired result and taking a big step towards a return to the Premier League, having defeated Coventry in three straight Championship clashes.
Despite putting together several winless matches, Ipswich Town's confidence won't be lacking, especially as they aim to avoid any gambling with extra playoff fixtures, so we expect Kieran McKenna's motivated squad to capitalize on Coventry's dazed state and leapfrog Leeds into second place with a victory here.
