    Side-by-side of Coventry City and Middlesbrough club badges

    Coventry City tussle with Middlesbrough at the CBS Arena as both seek a final chance at making the play-offs on Saturday (12:30 BST).

    Victory for the Sky Blues would ensure they make the top six, while for Boro even a win might not be enough for them to make it.

    They'd also need to rely on Millwall and Blackburn Rovers not taking all three points in their respective matches.

    Though with both those sides playing top three opponents, the hope is firmly alive for Middlesbrough... that's if they can put in a better performance than the one that saw them lose 3-0 to Coventry in the reverse fixture back in November.

    • Coventry City have won four of their last five league games against Middlesbrough (D1), scoring exactly three goals in each of their last three wins during that time.

    • Middlesbrough have lost each of their last three away league games against Coventry City, failing to score a single goal during that time.

    • Coventry have won their final game of a league season in just one of the last seven campaigns (D3 L3), a 6-1 home victory over Millwall in May 2021.

    • Only once since the 2012-13 season have Middlesbrough lost more away league games than this campaign (11), though during that season (12 in 2022-23) they did compete in the Championship play-offs.

    • Coventry have won 13 of their home games in the Championship this season (D3 L6), last enjoying more victories on home soil in a second tier campaign in 1966-67 (14).
