Two from five, but who will make the play-offs?

First things first, let’s deal with Coventry. They are in pole position and know just a point will be enough at a Middlesbrough side that seemed to have already turned their attention to the play-offs.

There is the subplot that this could very well be a play-off semi-final next week, so that is something for both sides to consider. Will Boro want to lay down a marker and get a good result? Or will Michael Carrick want to give a rest to some of his key men? We will see. With all that in mind, I think both teams would likely take a draw here, and to get as many through unscathed as possible.

Millwall
Blackburn Rovers

Monday 8th May 2:45pm Kick off 3:00pm

Then there is the melee for that other spot. Millwall are in the driving seat, and would no doubt have preferred to be playing against a Blackburn side that had nothing to play for, but their late point against Luton in their last game means they are still in with a shot.

Sunderland and West Brom will be lying in wait, hopeful of a Millwall slip-up, and a victory that could see them claw their way into the top six.

It is so tough to call, but I do think that Millwall will be held by Blackburn. It just has that feel for me. A result that will do nothing for either, and potentially a frantic final 15 as both push for the win.
