Current streaks

Recent form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have displayed a mixed bag of form in their recent fixtures, with their last six games yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. Despite their current fifth position in the Championship, Rovers have been struggling for consistency, failing to secure back-to-back league victories in this stretch. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding only four goals in six matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking prowess has been somewhat lacking, with a modest 0.83 goals scored per game. Notably, 83% of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The standout result in this period was their impressive 3-0 victory over Portsmouth, which bucked the trend of tight, low-scoring encounters that have characterised their recent outings.

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable improvement in defensive solidity. The Sky Blues have managed three clean sheets in their last six matches, conceding only four goals in that period, which translates to an impressive 0.67 goals conceded per game. Their most impressive result came in a 4-0 thrashing of Plymouth Argyle, showcasing their attacking potential. However, Coventry have struggled for consistency, drawing three of their last six games and failing to string together more than two consecutive positive results. Their current 16th position in the Championship table reflects this inconsistency, with the team's ability to grind out draws (three in the last six) potentially proving crucial in their bid to climb the table. The low-scoring nature of their recent matches is evident, with 67% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The team have been particularly strong defensively, conceding just four goals in these six games and keeping three clean sheets. Their most recent home match was an impressive 3-0 victory against Portsmouth, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Interestingly, Blackburn have experienced a mini-run of two consecutive losses at home, falling to Burnley and Hull City without scoring. Despite this, their overall goal difference remains positive, and they've managed to score in four out of the six matches. The team's recent performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these games seeing under 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in only 17% of the matches. This defensive solidity has likely contributed to Blackburn's current 5th position in the Championship table.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent away form has been concerning, with the Sky Blues struggling to find consistency on their travels. They have managed only one win in their last six away fixtures, suffering four defeats and securing a solitary draw. The team's defensive frailties are particularly evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game on the road. A notable low point was their 4-1 defeat to Portsmouth, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Coventry are currently enduring a run of three away games without a victory, and their goal-scoring record is equally worrying, averaging less than one goal per away match. Despite this poor run, there is a silver lining in their clean sheet against Millwall, which resulted in their only away win during this period. The team's overall away performance is contributing to their current 16th position in the Championship, highlighting the need for improvement if they hope to climb the table.
