The free-scoring Coventry will look to continue their winning run when they host a goal-shy Blackburn in a matchday ten fixture of the 2025-26 EFL Championship. This match at the Coventry Building Society Arena between the league leaders, the Sky Blues, and the 21st-placed Rovers comes with our prediction of a home win with both teams scoring goals.
Coventry’s 19 points (W5, D4) put them one point ahead of Middlesbrough before this round. Blackburn have a game in hand (W2, D1, L5) but are only one point above the relegation zone.
Frank Lampard’s men remain the only unbeaten Championship side of this season and have been scoring goals for fun. They won 5-0 away at Sheffield Wednesday before the international break for a third win in a row.
All three matches saw them score 3+ goals, and they average three goals in the season. At home, they have three wins and a draw from their last four competitive fixtures.
Blackburn drew 1-1 at home against Stoke going into the break; that halted a two-game losing run in the league. Going back to the start of the campaign, the Rovers lost six of their nine matches in all competitions.
Their away form gives a ray of hope, as Blackburn won two of their recent three league trips, scoring four goals in those victories.

Our Coventry City vs Blackburn Prediction
Coventry are the only unbeaten side in this EFL Championship campaign, although they have drawn four of their nine games. Another win will keep them in charge of their destiny, and it’s their scoring record that could lead the charge, as the Skyblues average three goals per match in this campaign. Blackburn find themselves at the wrong end of the table, just outside the relegation zone, but their games have been low on action.
This game could see goals at both ends, though, and our Coventry City vs Blackburn prediction is Coventry City wins and BTTS.
