Championship leaders Coventry City are all but promoted to the Premier League due to their vastly superior goal difference. The Sky Blues can put promotion beyond doubt with just a point at Blackburn Rovers who are 20th in the table. Read our match prediction below.
City lead the Championship by ten points from Ipswich Town but from a game more..The top two are automatically promoted and Coventry lead third-placed Millwall by 12 points with four games remaining. Their goal difference is +42 compared to Millwall's +9.
They could already have mathematically clinched promotion but have drawn their last two league games 0-0 at Hull and home to relegated Sheffield Wednesday. They have won ten away league games this season.
Blackburn Rovers are in trouble at the other end of the table. Rovers are two places and four points above the drop zone and have played a game more than all their other relegation rivals. Their most recent game saw them lose 3-0 at Southampton.
They have gone three games without a win and only scored once. Home form has seen them win just four out of 21 league games with nine losses. They have gone four without a win at Ewood Park but drawn the last three.
We tip Coventry City to win.
