Coventry City is set to host Ipswich Town in the only Championship game on Tuesday night, with significant stakes riding on the match. While a win may not guarantee promotion for Ipswich, it could put them in a strong position for automatic promotion. Currently sitting in third place, Ipswich could leapfrog Leeds United with a positive result, making this game crucial in their promotion push.

Despite being winless in their last four matches, with three draws, Ipswich sees this game as an opportunity to secure three vital points. Meanwhile, Coventry City, who have suffered three defeats in their last four games and are out of playoff contention, will aim to play spoiler.

Ivan Newsome predicts a 3-1 victory for Ipswich, considering their urgency for points and Coventry’s lack of motivation in the game. He believes Ipswich has the upper hand and could capitalize on Coventry’s recent form.

Charlie Beeston underscores the importance of this game for Ipswich, highlighting the need to secure points to ease the pressure going into the final day. While Ipswich’s recent form has been less than stellar, this match presents an opportunity to regain momentum and put themselves in a favorable position for promotion.

Their defeat to Hull last week and their draw against Blackburn on Saturday have confirmed that a second consecutive play-off campaign is out of reach. Despite this setback, manager Mark Robins is determined not to let his team lose focus and drift away, ensuring they finish the season on a positive note. One challenge they face is the heavy schedule of matches they have already endured this year.

“I believe Ipswich will approach this match with more vigor than their opponents, yet the home team will not yield easily. As a result, a draw appears to be the likely outcome.”

Prediction: Coventry City 2-2 Ipswich Town
