SBK – Get a 25% boost on Bet Builders on Coventry v Sunderland – CLAIM HERE* Coventry head into the first leg of their play-off semi final with Sunderland as favourites for victory, despite only securing their place in the top six in last week’s final day of the Championship season following their 2-0 win at home against fellow play-off chasers Middlesbrough. Frank Lampard’s side had only won one of their previous four matches, losing their previous two, prior to last weekend’s bout, but managed to dust themselves off to secure victory, which also saw them leapfrog Bristol City into fifth place and avoid a two-legged tie with Sheffield United. The Sky Blues boast one of the better home records in the Championship this season, with only Leeds and Sheffield United having won more games in front of their home fans this season, which includes seven wins in their last eight games at the CBS Arena. Sunderland make the trip to the West Midlands having lost each of their last five matches in preparation for tonight’s first leg, picking up only one point from their final six games of the season. Regis le Bris’ side were firmly in the conversation for automatic promotion up until November but have held fourth spot in the table consistently ever since. The Black Cats do have a strong record on the road this season with only three teams who finished above them having won more and lost fewer than the Wearside club, though they have won only one of their last five on the road, of which they’ve lost three. This is only Coventry’s second ever play off campaign, reaching the final in both previous attempts, winning the League Two final in 2018 before losing on penalties in the Championship final to Luton just two years ago. Sunderland have reached the play-offs on six previous occasions, winning just one of their four finals, which came just three years ago as they were promoted from League One. Coventry took four points from their matches against Sunderland this season, and are unbeaten in their last 10 matches against the Black Cats going back 17 years, while the Wearside club haven’t won away from home against the West Midlands side in any competition in 40 years.
