Coventry City vs Luton Town could determine Preston and Plymouth’s future

The earlier kick off of the day on Saturday 26 April is the meeting between Coventry City and Luton Town.

Matt Bloomfield’s side have lost one of their last eight games and found form at just the right time.

Coventry meanwhile were beaten by Plymouth last time out but have their play-off fate still in their own hands.

Opta is tipping Coventry to finish in the top six and Sky Blues can also help Preston and Plymouth out too.

Should Frank Lampard’s side beat Luton, Preston will only need a point to confirm their place in the Championship for next season.

Meanwhile, for Plymouth, a defeat for the Hatters means that they could move level on points with only a game left of the season and set up for a final day classic.
