Middlesbrough vs Coventry Predictions

• Six of Boro’s seven outings this term have featured fewer than 2.5 goals.

Boro to Grind Out the Points

Middlesbrough may be sitting 13^th in the Championship table, but they’ve made an extremely solid start to the campaign under Neil Warnock and can kick on further with a win over Coventry this Tuesday.

It’s fair to say that Boro have been far from a riveting watch with just six goals scored and five conceded in their seven matches thus far, but their tough, pragmatic approach is working as they haven’t been defeated since a 1-0 loss at Watford on the opening day.

Two wins and four draws have followed, and their last two results have probably been their most impressive to date, with Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Cardiff backing up a superb 0-1 success at second-placed Bristol City last week.

Warnock’s men sit just two points away from the Play-Off places and can make stealthy headway towards the top six when they take on the struggling Sky Blues.

Coventry began life back in the second tier fairly promisingly with a slender 2-1 defeat at Bristol City and a 3-2 home victory against QPR, but Mark Robins’ side have mustered just two points from their last five outings.

They were smashed 0-4 by Blackburn Rovers at St Andrews on Saturday and it’s hard to see where the Sky Blues are going to attain points from at present. Boro should have too much nous and mettle for them here, so we’re forecasting a 1-0 win for the hosts which would mark the seventh game in eight involving Warnock’s side where under 2.5 goals have been scored.
