Coventry vs Ipswich prediction, betting odds and tips from Racing Post

Victor Torp and Ben Sheaf missed out at the weekend due to muscle strains and remain doubtful for the upcoming games. April has been a tense month for the Championship’s leading clubs, with the top four struggling for consistency.

Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich has gone four games without a victory, but despite this, they remain in a strong position as Leeds and Southampton have been unable to capitalize. Leeds are currently holding onto second place despite a 4-0 loss at QPR last Friday, but Ipswich appears to be in the driving seat and ready to put their recent wobble behind them.

Ipswich went into Saturday’s clash at Hull knowing that they needed five more points, and they secured a 3-3 draw. Although disappointed by conceding an 87th-minute equalizer, they showcased excellent attacking football, winning the shot count 21-14, and finished the week in a stronger position.

The remaining games for Ipswich include matches away to Coventry and at home to Huddersfield, which are expected to be more straightforward. While Coventry had a close call in the FA Cup, their Championship playoff hopes have faded after a downturn in results.

Mark Robins’ side, Coventry, stopped the rot with a 0-0 draw at Blackburn on Saturday, but they have gone five matches without a win and are unlikely to prevent Ipswich from moving ever closer towards the finishing line.
