It will be a night of celebration on Tuesday as Coventry City host Portsmouth. The home side are top of the Championship and already promoted to the Premier League. 18th placed Pompey will aim to spoil the party. Read our match prediction below.
The Sky Blues have been in the promotion play-off places all season. Friday saw them draw 1-1 at Blackburn Rovers to clinch their return to the top flight. They haven't been in the best of form lately though and have drawn their last three league fixtures.
Less than 2.5 goals were scored in all three of those matches.
That statistic has also come up in all but one of their last six home league matches.
Portsmouth had a big win at the weekend as they beat Leicester City 1-0 at home. That win at Fratton Park has taken Pompey seven points clear of the relegation zone, so survival is looking very likely.
That win over relegation-threatened Leicester was Portsmouth's third straight league victory Their other two wins came against promotion-chasing Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town. On the road, Pompey have won five league games.
Three of their last four away league matches have seen less than 2.5 goals scored.
We tip that statistic to come up in this match.
