Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Under 2.5 goals means, quite simply, that there will be a maximum of 2 goals scored in total by Blackburn and Coventry during the traditional 90 mins. It's a bet the stats below and the odds both favour on this occasion, and an outcome that we've seen these sides produce before. In the absence of an obvious winner, our best bet prediction for this one is under 2.5.

Blackburn Rovers's defensive record is very strong, J. Eustace's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive Championship outings. An underwhelming PG rating of 1.0 for Coventry City makes sense in this context.
