Prediction: 2-1
Coventry
Following a 3-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers will look to give fans some cheer when they face Coventry City in their last home game of the season. John Eustace is likely to shuffle his pack with both John Buckley and Dilan Markanday pushing for a start, while all Ryan Hedges, Arnor Sigurdsson, Harry Leonard, and John Fleck remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, are low on confidence following a heart-breaking loss to Manchester United in the FA Cup semis. As the relegation-threatened hosts want this win more than the visitors, we predict that Mark Robins’ men are going to return home with their hands empty. Both Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Jamie Allen are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side. In the first half of the season Coventry defeated Blackburn, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
