Coventry City and Preston North End get the ball rolling in round 34 of the EFL Championship when they go head-to-head on Friday.
Both sides find themselves separated by just two points in a heated race for the playoff places and we anticipate a thrilling contest at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Coventry City continued their surge into the playoff places as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium last Saturday.
The Sky Blues have now gone four consecutive games without defeat, claiming one draw and three wins, including a 4-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on February 6.
With 51 points from 33 matches, Coventry are currently seventh in the Championship table, level on points with eighth-placed Norwich City and three points adrift of the playoff places.
Elsewhere, Preston North End turned in a resilient team performance last time out as they fought back from two goals behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers on home turf.
Prior to that, Ryan Lowe’s men were on a three-game winning streak, scoring seven goals and keeping one clean sheet since the start of February.
With 49 points from 33 matches, Preston North End are currently ninth in the league standings, two points and two places behind Friday’s hosts.
