It remains to be seen how the League One campaign will end. But what would have happened if the season had not been interrupted?

One particular model suggests Coventry City would more than likely have been crowned champions.

Matches came to a halt in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, with the Sky Blues sitting five points clear of Rotherham at the top of the table, with a game in hand.

The BBC called upon Professor James Reade and Dr Carl Singleton from the University of Reading to predict how the season might have panned out.

Their report says: “In all of our models, Coventry will go up as champions - they have a 76.2 percent chance of winning the title and an almost 90 percent chance of finishing in the top two.”

The duo use league form and historic records to predict the number of goals a team will score in each fixture and the percentage chance a side will win that game.

The BBC say: “Those results are factored into the next week’s set of fixtures and so on until the end of the season.

“They repeat this model 10,000 times to get a percentage probability of where a club would have finished.”

And it works out well for Coventry.

"Coventry are fairly likely to win the title, but it's still the case that someone might say 'hang on a minute'," Professor Reade is quoted as saying.

The model says Rotherham would have a 6.5 percent chance of winning the title, but are predicted as most likely to have finished runners-up.
