Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by Sheffield Wednesday will have left the Blackburn Rovers squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 8 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 11 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have conceded at least one goal in 20 of their 22 home games this season.
A home win for Blackburn Rovers is just a distant memory, having not won at Ewood Park in 6 games.
Goalscorer Sammie Szmodics will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Blackburn Rovers.
Coventry City, Recent FormThe Coventry City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Hull City recently, that ended in a 3-2 defeat. They came away from that fixture with a 54% share of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Hull City, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 8 of which were on target.
Manager Mark Robins will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, this season they have scored in 19 of their 22 games on the road.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them.
The Coventry City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Haji Wright, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 1-0 win for Coventry City.
The Sky Blues will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Blackburn.
When playing away from home in the league, Coventry have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Blackburn, with the last 3 of those games ending in a draw.
Blackburn manager John Eustace has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. John Fleck (Calf), Ryan Hedges (Hamstring), Harry Leonard (Back) and Arnór Sigurðsson (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Despite Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (Back) being out for the rest of the season Coventry manager Mark Robins will be pleased to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from ahead of this fixture.
