Coventry vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

Table-Topping Coventry Set to Extend Unbeaten Run Against Struggling Blackburn

Coventry carry more of a threat in the final third than their opponents, and they should be backed to get the win at home to Blackburn on Saturday.

Coventry are top of the league, having won five and drawn four of their nine games so far, while Blackburn sit 21st with two wins and five defeats. Last season, Coventry finished with 69 points and Blackburn had 66.

Coventry maintained their winning habit last time, running out 5-0 winners against Sheffield Wednesday, and keeping them from having a single shot on target. The win made it two wins in the five matches in which Coventry have been odds-on this season.

The visitors are enduring a rough spell. Blackburn are without a win in three Championship games.

The hosts have been hard to break down this season, with Coventry not conceding a goal in their last four Championship games. They have kept clean sheets in five of the last six meetings with Blackburn.

Coventry will be confident of scoring, having netted an average of 3.25 goals a game in their four Championship games against teams in the bottom six this season. They have scored three or more goals in three successive matches and no team has more Championship goals this season than Coventry’s 27 in nine games.

The hosts are in fine fettle – Coventry remain unbeaten after nine Championship games this season.

A 2-0 win for Coventry looks the best correct-score bet. In five of the last six Championship meetings between these sides at least one team failed to score, and Coventry have beaten Blackburn by at least two goals in the last two meetings.
