The midweek Championship action sees Coventry City face Blackburn Rovers in a battle between two teams with contrasting fortunes. Mark Robins’ Sky Blues have struggled so far this campaign with just one win in seven. In contrast, Rovers are unbeaten in their seven games and have rattled in the joint-most goals in the division. Let’s take a closer look at our match prediction.
Coventry City sit just outside the relegation spots in 21st in the Championship table after this past weekend’s 3-0 defeat away to Leeds United. Including cup games, that was Coventry’s third defeat in a row and they have now gone seven games in all competitions without a win.
For a team more used to challenging for the playoffs, this season has been an unexpected struggle for Coventry and the pressure is mounting on the team to turn things around. However, it could be tough to do that against their opponents tonight.
Blackburn Rovers have started the season very well under John Eustace. Unbeaten in their first seven games, they lie third in the Championship table and have scored 14 goals in those seven matches, the joint-most in the division with Sunderland.
However, what is notable is that all four of their wins have come at Ewood Park, while on their travels, Rovers have managed three draws (2-2 at Norwich, 1-1 at Burnley and then 0-0 at Preston).

Our Coventry City vs Blackburn Prediction
Our prediction for Coventry City vs. Blackburn Rovers in the Championship is: A draw.
At first glance, a Blackburn victory looks the obvious pick here, but a dig into the data reveals a trend for Rovers to draw away games. Coventry, though they are in a run of bad form, are a better team than their results suggest. That should be evident at home especially. There's nothing to suggest that Rovers will lose this game, but they have not beaten Coventry in seven and five of those seven have been draws.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
