📺 Highlights: #Rovers 0-0 Hull City🔵⚪️https://t.co/NZWuPfAW5N
Blackburn Rovers come into the match having been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Hull City in the Championship on the weekend. It was a disappointing result against a team in the bottom half of the table and Blackburn Rovers have been struggling to win recent games.
Trends show Blackburn Rovers have failed to win any of their 5 most recent fixtures in all competitions. They have lost against Birmingham City away and Norwich City at home in the Championship plus Sheffield United away in the FA Cup.
In addition to the draw at home against Hull City in the Championship, Blackburn Rovers picked up a point thanks to a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield Town.
Blackburn Rovers have a good record of 8 undefeated games in their last 9 home encounters in all competitions.
They have won 4 of their last 6 home Championship games and have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their 8 most recent league games on home soil.
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Blackburn Rovers’ last 8 home Championship fixtures.
Coventry City make the trip to Ewood Park on the back of a good 3-0 win at Queens Park rangers on the weekend. Having opened the scoring in the 10th minute, there were no further goals until the final 4 minutes of the match, with Coventry City extending their advantage to take maximum points.
The win at Queens Park Rangers means Coventry City are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Championship.
However, they have recorded just a single win from their last 4 Championship matches. There have been draws with Swansea City away and Watford at home plus a 4-0 defeat at home against Stoke City.
Trends show Coventry City are on a run of 7 consecutive away undefeated matches in the Championship. They have won 4 and drawn 3 of those 6 games and have scored three or more goals in 3 of their last 5 on the road.
Team news and Blackburn Rovers are without the injured quartet of Bradley Dack, Jack Vale, Daniel Ayala, and Clinton Mola.
Coventry City also have four players on the treatment table, with Liam Kelly, Kasey Palmer, Fabio Tavares, and Callum OHare all likely to miss out.
Both teams are competing for a place in the playoffs and Coventry City are hitting some good form at the right time.
Things have not been going so well for Blackburn Rovers of late but they are tough to beat at home and this match could end level, with under 2.5 goals scored.
