Coventry City and Middlesbrough clash on the final day of the season but only one team here needs a point in this contest on the final matchday. It is already certain that Middlesbrough will finish fourth in the league and they cannot go higher or below this position while Coventry City needs a win or draw to retain their place in the English championship play-off spots. My recommended betting pick in this game is a win or draw for Coventry City. Here's why you should bet on this option;
[1] Coventry City is very motivated here and they need the points more than Middlesbrough do, which should make this game a lot more easier for them. A win or draw in this game keeps Coventry City in the race for the playoffs and I think they will be better placed to get a good result here unlike Middlesbrough who don't have anything to lose in this game. Middlesbrough is also likely to rest players and give other fringe players a chance to start this game while Coventry City is expected to go with their full starting 11 in this game. Viktor Gyokeres made the difference for Coventry City in the last game against Middlesbrough. They have a chance to make it two wins in two games against Michael Carrick's team and I'm confident that Coventry City would get a good result here.
[2] Apart from Coventry City needing more points in this game, they are in much better form than Middlesbrough and I think they can continue their unbeaten streak on the final matchday. Coventry City has not lost in five consecutive games in the English championship with three wins in their last four appearances. Mark Robins' team has gone on a good run and they are great candidates to reach the playoffs. Since Middlesbrough secured a place in the playoffs, they have been very poor and their performances have dropped towards the end of the season. Middlesbrough has lost their last two games in the English Championship with defeats to Luton Town and Rotherham United. I think they would also struggle against Coventry City who are playing with better confidence right now and you should back the away team to get a win or draw.
