Middlesbrough and Coventry City meet this week to settle the semifinals of their English championship tie. Both teams are level heading into the second leg and there's all to play for here. Coventry City had their chances in the first leg but they were not clinical enough but they can make up for their mistakes here. My recommended betting pick in this game is an away win or draw for Coventry City. Here's why you should bet on the visitors to win or draw;

First reason

Coventry City has been in very outstanding form in the last few months of the season and they are very capable of going to the next round. Mark Robins' team is unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions and they can get a good result at the Riverside Stadium. Towards the end of the season, Coventry City got very good results away from home which includes bug victories against Blackpool and QPR. Middlesbrough had a good run when Michael Carrick joined the team but they have been poor in the last few weeks and suddenly they don't look strong enough to beat Coventry City. The hosts have won just one of their last four games in the English Championship and they have lost two of those games. Middlesbrough is not in very good form and I don't see them defeating Coventry City in normal time here.

Second reason

Middlesbrough list three key players from the first leg to injuries which includes Aaron Ramsey, Jonathan Howson, and Matthew Clarke. They are a much weaker team than the squad that started against Coventry City last week and this reduces their chances of a win here. Apart from having a more complete starting eleven, Coventry City has not lost in the last three meetings against Middlesbrough and they have the advantage heading into this fixture. In that period Mark Robins' team has scored twice and they have been dominant in all three games. With a potential final against Luton Town, I am confident that Coventry City can put another good performance against Middlesbrough and get all they need to qualify in this game.

米德尔斯堡和考文垂将在本周的英格兰联赛半决赛中决一死战。两支球队在第二回合的比赛中都势均力敌，我们还有很多事情要做。考文垂在首回合有机会，但他们不够冷静，但他们可以在这里弥补他们的错误。在这场比赛中，我推荐的赌注是考文垂城的客场胜利或平局。以下是为什么你应该赌客队赢或平的原因;

第一个原因

考文垂在本赛季最后几个月的表现非常出色，他们很有能力进入下一轮。马克·罗宾斯的球队在最近八场比赛中保持不败，他们可以在河滨体育场取得好成绩。临近赛季结束，考文垂在客场取得了非常好的成绩，其中包括对布莱克浦和QPR的两场胜利。米德尔斯堡在卡里克加盟时表现不错，但最近几周表现不佳，突然间他们看起来没有足够的实力击败考文垂城。东道主在最近的四场英冠比赛中只赢了一场，而且输了两场。米德尔斯堡的状态不是很好，我不认为他们会在正常时间击败考文垂。

第二个原因

米德尔斯堡列出了首回合受伤的三名关键球员，其中包括拉姆塞、豪森和克拉克。他们比上周对阵考文垂的首发阵容弱得多，这降低了他们在这里获胜的机会。除了拥有更完整的首发阵容外，考文垂在最近三次对阵米德尔斯堡的比赛中没有输过球，他们在这场比赛中有优势。在这段时间里，马克·罗宾斯的球队进了两球，他们在这三场比赛中都占据了统治地位。在与卢顿城的决赛中，我相信考文垂能在对阵米德尔斯堡的比赛中表现出色，并在这场比赛中获得晋级资格。
