Coventry City - Blackburn Rovers betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.20, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It’s highly unlikely that Blackburn Rovers will manage to get some points this round. Coventry City are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Previously in the Championship, The Sky Blues missed a decent opportunity at locking down 3 points in an away game. The bookies were fairly optimistic about their odds despite the home-field disadvantage, and they went on to earn a small lead in the first 45 minutes. Unfortunately, though, they botched the lead and had to settle for a draw game.

The Rovers are here on the back of a fairly uneventful match in the previous round. They played at Reading and conceded a key goal in the second half after an undecided first 45 minutes, leading to a 1:0 loss.

The Rovers are on a string of 5 away games that all confirmed the Under 2.5 Goals market. As such, going for Over or Both Teams to Score bets seems like a bad idea.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite The Sky Blues being seen as the favourites.

This will no doubt be an exciting match because both squads will be able to come out in full force. No players have been sidelined due to injury or suspension, and this goes for both sides.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 1.63 odds.
