Blackburn Rovers vs Coventry City Prediction and Betting Tips | January 21st 2025

Blackburn Rovers and Coventry City get round 28 of EFL Championship underway when they lock horns on Tuesday. Coventry are unbeaten in their last six visits to Ewood Park and will be looking to extend this impressive run.

Blackburn Rovers were sent crashing back down to earth last Saturday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium. Before that, John Eustace’s men snapped their five-game winless run on January 11 courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough in the FA Cup, four days before thrashing Portsmouth 3-0 on home turf.

Blackburn Rovers have picked up 12 wins and six draws from their 27 Championship games to collect 42 points and sit fifth in the table, one point above sixth-placed West Bromwich Albion in the final playoff spot.

Coventry City, on the other hand, continued their fine run of results as they secured a 1-0 victory over Bristol City at the Coventry Building Society Arena last time out.

The Sky Blues have now gone unbeaten in five of their last six matches, claiming two draws and three wins, including a penalty-shootout victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on January 11.

With 32 points from 27 matches, Coventry City are currently 14th in the Championship standings, level on points with 15th-placed Oxford United.
