Blackburn Rovers form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Blackburn Rovers have to build on here at Ewood Park in the Championship. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Blackburn Rovers with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Luton Town game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Blackburn, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Blackburn's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 2-3 versus Watford (placed 3rd). Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Nottingham Forest (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Blackburn have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won eight times, drawn four and lost three.

The manager T. Mowbray will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Reading in only three days.

A decent goal production from Blackburn in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 15 league matches. Blackburn's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 18 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Coventry City form and stats

Coventry City have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Championship, after 2-4-10 (16 played). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Coventry City have lost on their last two travels.

Coventry City are travelling again after losing away to Swansea City in their previous match (0-1). Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Brentford.

We have checked recent matches where Coventry have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were one victory, four draws and four defeats.

After this away game Coventry return home for a Championship game against Middlesbrough. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Coventry as they have only managed to score 12 times from 16 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Coventry City have conceded 26 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head
