Recent form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent form has been concerning, as they are currently on a three-game losing streak in all competitions, including a League Cup exit to Tottenham Hotspur. Their league position of 21st reflects their struggles, having accumulated only 5 points from 7 games. The team's offensive output has been particularly weak, scoring just 4 goals in their last 6 matches (0.67 goals per game), while conceding 9 (1.5 per game). Their most recent match, a 3-0 loss to Leeds United, represents their heaviest defeat in this stretch. Despite the overall poor form, Coventry did manage to keep a clean sheet in their League Cup victory over Oxford United, which stands as their only win in the last six games. The team's tendency to play close matches is evident, with 50% of their games featuring under 2.5 total goals.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are displaying strong form, currently sitting in 3rd position in the Championship with 15 points from 7 games. Their recent run of WLDWDW shows consistency, with only one loss in their last six matches, which came in the League Cup against Blackpool. The team's defensive prowess is evident, having kept three clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. Offensively, they've been productive, scoring 1.5 goals per game. Their most impressive performance came in a 3-0 victory over Bristol City, highlighting their potential for high-scoring games. The team's goal difference of +5 and their ability to both keep clean sheets and score consistently suggest they are well-balanced and in good form as they push for promotion contention.

Recent home/away form

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent home form presents a concerning trend for the team, with three consecutive losses in their last three home matches across all competitions. The Sky Blues are currently experiencing a challenging period, having lost four out of their last six home games. Despite this, there have been some high-scoring encounters, notably the 3-2 victory over Oxford United in the Championship. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six home games. Interestingly, 67% of these matches have seen both teams score, and the same percentage have featured over 2.5 goals, indicating that Coventry's home games tend to be entertaining affairs despite their recent poor results. With an average of 2.67 total goals per game, fans can expect action at both ends of the pitch when attending matches at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown resilience in their recent away form, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches on the road. Their record includes two wins and four draws, demonstrating consistency and an ability to avoid defeat. Notably, Blackburn's most impressive away performance came in a League Cup match against Stockport County, where they secured a resounding 6-1 victory, showcasing their offensive prowess. Despite not scoring in their most recent away game, a 0-0 draw against Preston, Blackburn have maintained a solid scoring rate of 1.83 goals per game while conceding only 0.83 goals per game in their last six away matches. Their defensive solidity is further emphasized by two clean sheets during this period. With 67% of their away games seeing both teams score and the same percentage finishing under 2.5 goals, Blackburn's away matches tend to be competitive and relatively low-scoring affairs, barring the exceptional result against Stockport County.
