With the first leg finishing goalless, Middlesbrough and Coventry are set to go at each other again in the second leg of the Championship play-off semi-finals at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday.
Failing to pick up a win and scoring just twice in their last four outings may be a bit of a worrying sign, but Michael Carrick's men would be expected to be the favourites at home. On the other hand, the 0-0 draw at the Coventry Building Society Arena was the first time Mark Robins' side did not find the back of the net since the goalless draw at Swansea in early April.
The winners will meet Luton Town in the Championship play-off final.
