The fight for the final two EFL Championship promotion playoff spots comes down to this weekend.<\/p>\n

Haji Wright and Coventry City welcome Aidan Morris and Middlesbrough to town in a crucial regular season finale for both teams. <\/p>\n

Wright and the Sky Blues are currently holding onto the final spot, but could be ousted out of it pending their result against visiting Boro. The U.S. men\u2019s national team forward has tallied 12 goals this season, which leads Frank Lampard\u2019s squad. Coventry could seal a playoff berth with at least one point at home, but would majorly boost their chances with an outright win. <\/p>\n

Morris and Middlesbrough are on the outside of the top-six and ultimately need a road victory to have any chance of making the playoffs. The 23-year-old has made 34 league appearances in Michael Carrick\u2019s squad this season, becoming a consistent player for the club. <\/p>\n

Coventry City are unbeaten in their last seven matches against Middlesbrough, which included a 3-0 road victory at the Riverside Stadium back in November. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere in England, Antonee Robinson <\/strong>and Fulham face Aston Villa as both teams continue their quest for European football for next season. Tyler Adams <\/strong>and Bournemouth take on Arsenal. <\/p>\n

In Italy, Weston McKennie<\/strong> and Juventus face off with Bologna in a crucial Serie A showdown. <\/p>\n

In Spain, Johnny Cardoso<\/strong> and Real Betis welcome Espanyol to town.<\/p>\n

In Germany, Joe Scally<\/strong> and Borussia Moenchengladbach host Hoffenheim. Gio Reyna<\/strong> and Borussia Dortmund take on Wolfsburg. <\/p>\n

In France, Tanner Tessmann <\/strong>and Lyon host Lens in Ligue 1 play. Crystal Dunn<\/strong> and PSG face Paris FC in the French Women\u2019s Cup Final.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Cameron Carter-Vickers<\/strong>, Auston<\/strong> Trusty<\/strong> and Celtic visit rivals Rangers. Jonathan<\/strong> Tomkinson<\/strong> and Ross County take on Hearts. George<\/strong> Bello<\/strong> and LASK face WSG Tirol. Griffin<\/strong> Yow<\/strong> aims to continue his scoring run against Dender. Erik Palmer-Brown<\/strong> and Panathinaikos take on AEK Athens. Malik Tillman<\/strong> and PSV face off with Fortuna Sittard. <\/p>\n
