Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 away win against Queens Park Rangers. They came away from that fixture with 48% of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 6 on target. By comparison, Queens Park Rangers managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Mark Robins will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 9 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from The Sky Blues, although undefeated in their last 7 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.
Matt Godden will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Coventry City.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormAfter a crushing 4-1 home loss to Leicester City, the Blackburn Rovers squad will need to dig deep to build confidence among their squad. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Leicester City's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Their boss Jon Dahl Tomasson is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 8 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 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.
Sammie Szmodics will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Blackburn Rovers.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Coventry in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Riversiders in their last 5 meetings together. The Sky Blues have struggled to keep Blackburn at bay when these two teams have met at Coventry Building Society Arena, during the last 3 times they have hosted Blackburn in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
Coventry have proven they're a capable side against Blackburn in the league and are unbeaten in their last 5 league encounters.
Coventry manager Mark Robins has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Callum O'Hare (Cruciate ligament), Kasey Palmer (Groin), Ben Sheaf (Groin), Fabio Tavares (Achilles tendon) and Milan van Ewijk (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Niall Ennis (Knee), Sam Gallagher (Calf) and Ryan Hedges (Hamstring)
