Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Prediction and Betting Tips | November 25th 2025

Middlesbrough host Coventry City at the Riverside on Tuesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The home team have enjoyed a solid campaign and continue pushing for promotion despite the exit of head coach Rob Edwards, who joined Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers during the international break.

Adi Viveash has been appointed as the new interim manager and oversaw a 1-1 draw away at Oxford United on Saturday. Boro remain second in the Championship with 30 points from 16 matches and will be targeting maximum points this weekend in a game that could prove pivotal in the title race.

Coventry City, meanwhile, have been the best team in the English second tier this season and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of Premier League football for the first time in over 25 years.

The visitors picked up a brilliant 3-2 comeback victory over 10-man West Bromwich Albion last time out, finding themselves two goals down in the 32nd minute before a strong second-half showing saw them come from behind to secure all three points. Frank Lampard's men now sit seven points clear at the top and will be looking to consolidate their place with another win on Tuesday.

Middlesbrough vs Coventry City Prediction

Boro are undefeated in their last three games but have won just one of their last five. They are, however, undefeated at home this season and will be looking forward to Tuesday's game.

The Sky Blues are on a three-game winning run and have won all but one of their last 10 league matches. They have the best away record in the division but may need to settle for a point against a capable Middlesbrough side this week.
