Our prediction for this Championship match:
Blackburn Rovers and Coventry City square off against each other at Ewood Park in what is expected to be a close Championship game. The Riversiders are eager to stay in the playoffs berth and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Sky Blues. Sondre Tronstad is unlikely to feature against Coventry City after limping off with injury in a 1-0 loss to Oxford United, with Adam Forshaw being ready to step up.
Coventry City, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bristol City. Coventry and Blackburn, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Frank Lampard is unlikely to make changes to the starting XI that defeated the Robins at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (Blackburn Rovers):
Blackburn Rovers have been trying to return to the Premier League ever since they dropped to the Championship in 2012.

It has to be noted that Blackburn Burnley 7-1 in their first ever meeting in the East Lancashire Derby on 3 November, 1888.
