Coventry vs Ipswich Form
The Sky Blues enter this match on the back of a 1-0 victory against Swansea. Coventry are enjoying an impressive run of form, remaining undefeated in 22 of their last 24 Championship matches. However, their recent games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals in their last four league outings.
Ipswich were held to a goalless draw by Millwall in their last match. The Tractor Boys' form has been slightly less consistent than their opponents, but they still occupy a strong third place in the Championship table.
Looking at the head-to-head record, Ipswich have dominated their recent meetings with Coventry, winning the last four matches between the two teams.
Coventry vs Ipswich Predicted Lineups
Coventry (4-2-3-1): Rushworth; Dasilva, Kitching, Woolfenden, v. Ewijk; Torp, Grimes; Mason-Clark, Rudoni, Sakamoto; Simms
Ipswich (4-2-3-1): Walton; Davis, Kipré, O'Shea, Furlong; Matusiwa, Cajuste; Philogene, Núñez, Egeli; Azón
Coventry will be without Dovin and Thomas-Asante due to injury, while Thomas and v. Ewijk are doubtful due to fitness concerns. Dasilva returns from suspension and is expected to start.
Ipswich will miss Clarke, Townsend, and Hirst through injury, while Szmodics is unfit. Egeli is likely to replace McAteer in the starting lineup. Burns has returned to the bench following a lengthy layoff and could feature.
