Blackburn fell behind inside four minutes last time out as Ben Brereton Diaz's second-half strike failed to avenge a 2-0 first-half deficit against Blackpool. Rovers remain on the outskirts of the playoff places, but have lost back-to-back league games. Coventry pulled off the shock result of the season so far when they hammered pre-season title favourites Fulham 4-1 prior to the international break. The Sky Blues have won the joint-most games in the division this season and currently sit in third place. 1:2
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Blackburn's last 8 home games (Championship). Blackburn have scored at least 2 goals in 7 of their last 8 home matches (Championship). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Coventry's last 3 games (Championship).
Brighton loanee Jan Paul van Hecke has returned from injury and will be fit enough to partner Daniel Ayala at the back. Ben Brereton Diaz scored for Chile during the international break and will continue to provide Blackburn's main attacking output. Ian Maatsen scored a wonderful goal against promotion favourites Fulham last time out, but a yellow card means that he will serve a one-match suspension this weekend. Todd Kane should deputise for Maatsen on the left while Gustavo Hamer will return to partner Liam Kelly in the centre of the park.
Blackburn's squad issues, particularly in attack, will make this a difficult test for Mowbray's side. The only thing in the hosts' favour is Coventry's poor away record, but we still think that the high-flying Sky Blues will emerge victorious
