A win for Championship leaders Coventry City will all but guarantee promotion to the Premier League. They are home to bottom-placed and already relegated Sheffield Wednesday. Read our match prediction below.
Easter Monday saw the Sky Blues held to a goalless draw at Hull City. They are 12 points clear at the top of the Championship and with a far superior goal difference to their rivals. Coventry are aiming to win a 16th home league game of the season.
They have won four of their last five home games in the Championship. Only Ipswich Town and most recently, Southampton have beaten them at home in the league this season. Seven home league games have seen them ahead at half and full time.
It’s been a miserable campaign for Sheffield Wednesday who will be playing in League One next season. Monday saw them earn a point at home against Leicester CIty but they have bottom with -5 points after having 18 deducted. Even with those points restored, the Owls would be 28 points adrift at the bottom.
The Owls have lost their last 11 away league fixtures and 15 in total this season with just one victory. They have trailed at half and full time in 12 away league games this season. We tip Coventry to win and lead at half and full time.
