THE PREDICTION
Coventry gave their hopes of Championship survival a seismic boost this past Thursday after edging out relegation rivals Rotherham 0-1 away from home in what was a real relegation six-pointer between the two sides. However, such a victory will have surely taken a great deal physically out of what is a small Coventry squad. This doesn’t bode well for them ahead of their clash vs Barnsley. The high-flying Tykes pride themselves on their energy and fitness, growing into games as they go on, tiring out the opposition with a relentless press. Such a style of play will likely overwhelm the Sky Blues who have just two days of rest leading into this one and any result other than a Barnsley win here would be considered a surprise.
