Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormBlackburn Rovers manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Hull City. During that encounter they had 62% possession and had 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 11 shots on goal.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. Having not hit the back of the net in 2 games, the goals seem to have dried up for them recently when playing at home. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They have had a strong run of form at Ewood Park recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Coventry City, Recent FormIn their last match Coventry City enforced their superiority over Queens Park Rangers with a 3-0 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Queens Park Rangers had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Mark Robins will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. On their travels, they have made a habit of scoring goals, having found the net in 4 of their last 6 outings away from home. They have shown some resilient performances away from home of late with 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches away from home.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 7 games in a row.
With 5 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Viktor Gyökeres has given the travelling Coventry City support something to shout about on the road.
Blackburn Rovers suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Coventry City the last time they met in the league.
In each of the previous 4 matches against The Sky Blues, Blackburn have let in at least one goal.
When playing at home in the league, Blackburn have failed to win any of their last 4 meetings with Coventry, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Blackburn manager Jon Dahl Tomasson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Daniel Ayala (Hamstring), Bradley Dack (Hamstring), Clinton Mola (Ankle) and Jack Vale (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Mark Robins has a number of injury concerns in his Coventry squad to contend with: Liam Kelly (Leg), Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Hamstring) and Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon)
