Coventry City take on the visitors Blackburn Rovers in the round 40 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, April 2nd at Coventry Building Society Arena (Coventry).
Coventry City had been close to the playoff zone for a long time, but a series of unsuccessful results significantly reduced the team's chances of promotion to the top tier this season. The match of the upcoming round for the hosts has great importance, which can decide a lot. Blackburn are 6 points away and have 1 played 1 game less. In case of victory, Coventry will equalize on points lost and return to the fight for the playoffs. Is it real? Coventry are playing relatively well at home, having lost only six matches from 20, with a goal difference of 29-19. It is also very important that there are almost no injured players, only Kelly and Ackles, who are being pulled up from the youth team, will not play.

As for Blackburn, the visitors are still in the top six, but it seems to me that this situation is temporary. In the last 10 rounds, Blackburn have recorded only 2 wins over QPR and Derby, who are lower in the standings. In general, Rovers are a home team. In terms of home matches, Blackburn has the second highest score in the championship, but on the road the statistics of wins and losses is extremely modest - in 19 matches there are only 5 wins and a goal difference of 14:18. A large number of injured only adds to pessimism. Ayala, Seefaik, Markandai, Nyambe, Poveda and Edun will definitely not be able to enter the field against Coventry. Looking at the number of injured and their importance for the team, it is not surprising now that the negative results in recent matches, some players simply cannot be replaced equally.
So that you understand how badly Blackburn plays on the road, I will give you one statistical fact that puts everything in its place. The visiting side not only cannot win 7 away matches in a row, but they can’t even score a goal. It's just an incredible streak and I wouldn't be surprised if they can't break it in the next round. Coventry should take advantage of Blackburn's problems. The hosts are the favorite of the bookmakers, I agree with the proposed quotes and propose to put a handicap of 1 (0). Considering personnel losses + a terrible game on the road, it's hard to believe in the victory of the guests.
Prediction for the match: Coventry City to win with 0.0 handicap.
