Middlesbrough will be looking to build some momentum for their upcoming playoff campaign when they welcome top-six hopefuls Coventry City to the Riverside Stadium on the final day of the Championship season. Boro have already secured a place in the playoffs but host a Sky Blue side who need a result on Teesside to ensure they will be joining Monday’s opponents and Luton Town in the top six.
Middlesbrough have found themselves in a unique situation over the past few weeks, with Michael Carrick’s men knowing their top-four standing is safe with games to spare in the regular season.
Such security has led to changes in team selection from the Manchester United legend in recent times – perhaps a large reason why Boro have suffered back-to-back defeats recently.
A Hakeem Odoffin goal secured Rotherham United victory – and subsequent second-tier survival – against Carrick’s charges last time out, with the visitors in South Yorkshire failing to dominant proceedings as they have become accustomed to this term.

Middlesbrough vs Coventry Prediction
Middlesbrough are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just two of their last seven matches. They have, however, performed well on home turf this season and will be looking forward to Monday’s game.
Coventry, on the other hand, are on a run of back-to-back victories and are undefeated in their last six games. They are undefeated in their last eight away games and should pick up a point here.
Prediction: Middlesbrough 1-1 Coventry City
