Blackburn take on the visitors Coventry in the round 43 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 19th at Ewood Park (Blackburn).
During the week, an intriguing match will take place in the 43rd round of the English Championship, in which Blackburn will host Coventry on their home turf. Blackburn Rovers have been unable to win for four consecutive Championship matches since being eliminated from the English Cup in mid-March. Nevertheless, the wanderers are still in the top six and are fighting for a spot in the playoffs. Blackburn currently has 63 points and sits in sixth position in the table. Coventry and Preston are just one point behind, so the battle promises to be fierce and go down to the wire. In their last two home matches, Blackburn has only managed to earn one point. This occurred in the previous round in a match against Hull City (0-0). Overall, the wanderers have 13 home wins, two draws, and five losses with a goal difference of 25-16.

Coventry are actually having a very good season. Currently, the Sky Blues have only suffered one loss in their last ten matches. This allows this team to occupy seventh place at the moment and realistically contend for a spot in the playoffs at the end of the regular season. In the previous round, Coventry defeated QPR 3-0 on the road. In general, Mark Robins' team has not tasted defeat in seven consecutive away matches. Overall, Coventry has won seven, drawn seven, and lost seven away matches with a total goal difference of 26-20.
The meeting between two highly motivated teams promises to be very intense and combative. In this match, my sympathies are with Coventry. Despite the fact that Blackburn is playing at home, the visitors' better form speaks in their favor. Moreover, the thought that Coventry will be able to at least not lose in this clash is supported by the head-to-head record. In the last five meetings between the two teams, each team has won once, and three matches ended in a draw. And if you look at the record specifically on Blackburn's turf, you can see that the wanderers last won in the distant year of 1997. Therefore, my prediction is that Coventry will not lose, and no more than four goals will be scored in the match because high scoring is not typical of these teams.
Prediction for the match: Coventry not to lose and under 4.5 scored goals.
