Blackburn Rovers vs Coventry City Prediction and Betting Tips | April 19th 2023 

Blackburn Rovers will host Coventry City at Ewood Park on Wednesday in another round of Championship football.

The hosts have struggled for results in the league of late and have gradually fallen behind in the race for the playoffs. They played out a goalless draw against Hull City last time out and will be gutted to have come away with nothing after dominating proceedings for large portions of the game.

Blackburn have picked up 63 points from 41 games this season and now sit sixth in the league table. They are just one point above their midweek opponents and will be looking to widen that gap when they play on Tuesday.

Coventry, meanwhile, are playing well at the moment and are pushing for the playoff spots with less than five games to play. They returned to winning ways last weekend with a 3-0 away win over struggling Queens Park Rangers, with a Gustavo Hamer strike sandwiched between goals from team top scorer Viktor Gyokeres.
