- 考文垂队在过去的七场主场比赛中赢了六场
- 天空蓝军在最近七次对阵米德尔斯堡的比赛中保持不败
- 自新年以来，米德尔斯堡在客场只赢过两次；圣瓦伦丁节
令人眩晕的一对组合，为关键时刻的冲突做好准备
考文垂和米德尔斯堡将在本赛季最后一天的锦标赛附加赛中进行一场可能具有决定性的比赛，因为双方仍有机会进入前六名。
对于排名第六的考文垂来说，一场胜利应该足以保证他们在附加赛中的位置，而平局也可以，但对于排名第九的米德尔斯堡来说，他们必须宣布胜利，并希望如果他们要延长赛季，其他结果也能如他们所愿。
双方都没有以最佳状态进入比赛，弗兰克·兰帕德看到他的考文垂队背靠背输掉比赛，而迈克尔·卡里克；米德尔斯堡队五分之一只赢过一场。
主场优势应该足以让天空蓝队获胜
考文垂最近几周可能输给了苦苦挣扎的普利茅斯和卢顿，但这两场失利都发生在他们的旅行中，而他们在本土的记录仍然令人印象深刻；他们在考文垂建筑协会竞技场赢得了过去七场比赛中的六场，在此期间只输给了英超联赛的伯恩利。
天空蓝军最近在对阵米德尔斯堡的比赛中也有着令人印象深刻的记录，因为他们在双方的最后七场比赛中保持不败，在反弹中赢了四场。
最近的三场胜利中，考文垂正好进了三个球，包括上赛季在河滨球场的3-1，而自新年以来，博罗在客场只赢了两次；星期六，比分可能会再次出现，这应该足以让东道主进入季后赛。
- Coventry have won six of their last seven home matches
- The Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with Middlesbrough
- Middlesbrough have only won twice on the road since New Year’s Day
Stuttering pair set for crunch clash
Coventry and Middlesbrough will meet in a potentially decisive match in the Championship play-off race on the final day of the season, as both sides are still in with a chance of finishing in the top six.
For Coventry, who head into the final day sitting sixth, a win should be enough to guarantee their place in the play-offs, while a draw could also do, but for ninth-placed Middlesbrough they must claim victory and hope other results go their way if they are to extend their season.
Neither side are heading into the clash in the best of form, with Frank Lampard having seen his Coventry side lose back-to-back games, while Michael Carrick’s Middlesbrough have won just once in five.
Home advantage should be enough for Sky Blues
Coventry may have lost at struggling Plymouth and Luton over recent weeks, but both those defeats came on their travels, while their record on home soil remains impressive – they have won six of their last seven at the Coventry Building Society Arena, slipping up against only Premier League-bound Burnley during that time.
The Sky Blues also have an impressive recent record against Middlesbrough, as they are unbeaten in the last seven meetings between the two sides, winning four on the bounce.
The three most recent of those victories have seen Coventry score exactly three goals, including a 3-1 at the Riverside last season, and with Boro having won just twice on the road since New Year’s Day, a repeat scoreline could be on the cards on Saturday, which should be enough to send the hosts into the play-offs.
