Coventry just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Championship matches at the Coventry Building Society Arena. They also drew zero and lost five of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded 12 goals.

They endured one defeat in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and six scored.

This particular encounter between Coventry and Blackburn looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win this coming Tuesday.

Coventry fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last one games against teams inside the top six. They were on target zero times in these matches, but also let in three goals. Coventry have so far been able to win just once after seven Championship games played, in stead showing off two draws and four defeats.
