Coventry City entertain Ipswich Town at the Coventry Building Society Arena in the Championship on Tuesday (April 30).
The hosts are winless in five games across competitions, snapping their four-game losing streak with a goalless draw with Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. Ipswich, meanwhile, have seen a drop in form recently and are winless in four league outings, playing three consecutive draws.
They drew 3-3 at Hull City on Saturday. Substitute Noah Ohio equalized in the 87th minute for Hull after George Hirst had scored in the 19th minute for Ipswich and Omari Hutchinson bagged a brace.
Ipswich trail leaders Leicester City by four points with two games left. The Championship title seems unlikely. To secure direct promotion, they will need to avoid a loss in their remaining two games, winning at least once.
