League leaders Coventry City will look to extend their advantage in the Championship when they host third-placed Ipswich Town on Monday. After the Boxing Day results, this is sure to be a fascinating affair, and we have a prediction for the match below.
Hosts Coventry made the most of their competitors’ slip-ups to open up an eight-point lead. They ran out 1-0 winners against a tricky Swansea to hit 51 points. They are surely heading into the new year at the top of the table, regardless of the result here.
One concern for Frank Lampard, though, will be the way goals are drying up. The last five matches have yielded just four goals, though Coventry are unbeaten in the last four.
Ipswich Town carry the Premier League pedigree and showed it perfectly in a 3-0 win the last time they met Coventry. They were, however, disappointed to play out a 0-0 draw with top-six contenders Millwall last time out.
Ipswich went into the game as favorites against the Lions, who were winless in three outings. In the end they failed to close in on second place, where Middlesbrough sit, five points to the good.
The Tractor Boys will be more concerned, though, that they are only two points ahead of the seventh-placed side. It will also worry them that they aren’t scoring a lot on the road.
