Blackburn vs Coventry prediction: Rovers running out of steam?
Key Stats
- Blackburn have only won once in six Championship games, after previously going on a six-match winning streak.
- Coventry are winless in four away league matches.
- Blackburn are winless in five H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: Blackburn 1-1 Coventry
Given their respective league positions, usually Blackburn would be fully backed to take home all three points. However, their stuttering form, coupled up with Coventry winning their last two matches in all competitions, suggests that the visitors could upset the apple cart.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Blackburn marginal favourites
- HOME: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.5%
- DRAW: 9/4 (3.25) – 30.8%
- AWAY: 13/8 (2.63) – 38.1%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As shown by the implied probabilities, Blackburn are just favourites to take home all three points, a 0.4% difference over Coventry. A draw is also rated at having an over 30% chance, which suggests it could be a tight encounter.
