Blackburn Rovers vs Coventry City Prediction: Blackburn has been struggling to convert their chances into goals and points lately

Blackburn Rovers is set to host Coventry City on Wednesday at Ewood Park. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes? 

Blackburn Rovers form

Blackburn's winless streak in the Championship continued as they failed to secure maximum points against Liam Rosenior's Tiger at Ewood Park, making it four matches without a win. The Lancashire club is currently going through their worst run of form, which is causing them to fall behind in the six-strong pack chasing the playoffs.

Despite their slump, Jon Dahl Tomasson's side is still in sixth place in the second-tier standings, but they are only one point ahead of Wednesday's visitors, Coventry. Therefore, the winner of this match will gain a significant advantage in the race for the top six.

Blackburn's supporters at Ewood Park will be hoping that Chilean striker Ben Brereton Diaz can produce a moment of brilliance on Wednesday night. There are rumors that the 23-year-old may leave the club if they do not secure promotion to the Premier League.

Tomasson's men have collected 41 of their 63 Championship points at home this season, which should give them the confidence to earn a victory that would increase their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.

Blackburn Rovers Predicted lineup

Pears; Rankin-Costello, Hyam, Carter, Pickering; Travis, Morton, Szmodics; Brereton Diaz, Gallagher, Dolan

Coventry City Form

After securing a convincing 3-0 away win against QPR on Saturday, Coventry City is still very much in contention for a playoff spot. The Sky Blues put on an impressive display, with Viktor Gyokeres scoring twice and Gustavo Hamer adding a late goal to secure the victory. The Coventry defense effectively shut down QPR's attack, allowing only two shots inside the box. With four games remaining in the Championship season, Mark Robins' team currently sits in seventh place in the standings and has a chance to move up to the top six with a win against Blackburn on Wednesday. Despite earlier predictions that Coventry might not be ready to compete for a Premier League spot until next season, the team's recent performances suggest that they could make a strong run for promotion this year.

Coventry City possible lineup

Wilson; McNally, McFadzean, Doyle; Norton-Cuffy, Eccles, Sheaf, Hamer, Bidwell; Godden, Gyokeres
