The form of these two sides since the turn of the year goes a long way to explaining how Coventry’s 10-point lead has evaporated and why they have been replaced at the top by Middlesbrough.
Just two wins in seven games for the Sky Blues and eight points compared to six wins from seven for Boro and 18 points.
That being said, Coventry have dominated this fixture in recent years and have won the past six meetings.
Middlesbrough have in fact failed to win any of their past nine games against the Sky Blues (D2 L7) since a 1-0 win in the Championship at the Riverside in January 2022.
Which will prevail tonight, recent history or current form?
