Blackburn vs Coventry: Top Free Betting Tips

Blackburn Rovers have recorded a four-match winless streak in EFL Championship and are set to face Coventry City in the next Challenge. The fixture will be played at Ewood Park on Wednesday, 19 April. The Sky Blues appear in this game after defeating Queens Park Rangers in the previous league match.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

Blackburn is winless in the previous five league affairs, facing three defeats. Rovers have managed three defeats in the same number of home games but featured a draw in the last one against Hull City. On the other hand, Coventry City has been on an undefeated run in the away fixtures and made the turns of victories and draws in the last six. The last three meetings between these clubs at Ewood Park have ended with equal scores. Following the current state of affairs, we predict the teams to share the points again on Wednesday.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: Yes

Blackburn and Coventry have contributed BTTS outcomes in all of the previous five meetings at Ewood Park. Before the last two games in front of the home fans, Blackburn scored in consecutive four home games. On the other hand, Coventry City has also been on the scoring side in four of the previous five matches away from Coventry Building Society Arena. Both teams conceded goals in at least three of the last five league affairs. Given these stats, we can predict goals from both ends of the field in this game.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-2 Draw

Blackburn Rovers have scored more than once in only one of the previous five home games. However, the Rovers will be confident over the H2H record against Coventry as the Riversiders scored at least twice in three of the last five meetings. On the other hand, the Sky Blues have also netted the ball twice or more in three of the last five matches away from Coventry Building Society Arena. The last meeting between these teams at Ewood Park featured a 2-2 scoreline and the current scenario lets us predict the same for this match.

Blackburn vs Coventry: Form, Recent Games, and News

Blackburn Preview

The Rovers previously recorded a second consecutive league draw against Hull City without a goal. Blackburn needs to be on their best behaviour in this game as a defeat against Coventry can let them slip out of the top-six contention. With all players fit and available, Rovers will be focused on giving their best performance in a dire need of three points.

As it stands, Blackburn are seventh on the points table, equal on points with sixth-placed West Brom. A win will allow them to leapfrog Millwall in fifth and still have a game in hand. Their current form of four matches without a win does not inspire confidence but if Ben Brereton Diaz starts scoring again, it will be a different matter. The Chilean is leading their scoring charts with 12 goals and four assists but has not scored in his last four outings.

Coventry Preview

After a wait of three winless games, the Sky Blues secured a victory in the last game at Loftus Road against QPR. Viktor Gyokeres scored goals in each half and Gustavo Hamer helped with a single goal in the 86th minute for a 0-3 lead. All of the players will be ready to appear in this game when the team strives to extend their winning form.

They have played a game more than Blackburn and trail them by a point in the rankings. Victory over Rovers will see them come on level terms with the Lions in fifth place. After successive draws their win over QPR would have surely instilled confidence in their ranks. All eyes will be on Gyokeres to deliver in their colours. The Swede is the second-highest goalscorer in the Championship and has five goals in his last eight outings for Coventry.
