Just two potential wins away from a much-anticipated comeback to the Premier League, Ipswich Town gears up for an important match against Coventry City in the Championship, set to take place in the West Midlands on Tuesday night.



While Coventry City's hopes for the playoffs have faded in the midst of recent tumultuous weeks, Ipswich Town's aspirations to ascend from the second tier are vivid and thriving. Coventry City, facing their fourth match in a mere 10 days to wrap up the frenetic 2023-24 season, managed only a draw against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, amidst a struggle to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat in the Championship.


The game saw Coventry's Liam Kitching receive his third red card of the season, a record for the club, yet the 10-man team held off Blackburn's attacks to secure a draw. Mark Robins's squad currently sits in ninth place in the Championship standings, eight points adrift from sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion, who are striving to secure their position against Hull City on the final day of the season.


Despite their recent winless streak, Ipswich Town remains in a promising position for automatic promotion, having earned a thrilling 3-3 draw with Hull City. The team's regrets lie in failing to secure all three points despite leading on three occasions during the match.


As they head into the final matches of the regular season, Ipswich Town's destiny for promotion remains within their control, needing just four points from encounters with Coventry and Huddersfield Town to clinch a top-two finish.


Injuries and suspensions have left Coventry City depleted, with only two available center-backs for the upcoming match. Meanwhile, Ipswich Town faces their own challenges with players like Brandon Williams sidelined due to injury.


Coventry City possible starting lineup:

Collins; Van Ewijk, Thomas, Latibeaudiere, Bidwell; O'Hare, Kelly, Eccles, Wright, Palmer; Simms


Ipswich Town possible starting lineup:

Hladky; Tuanzebe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Luongo; Burns, Chaplin, Hutchinson; Hirst
