Here are some of our writers’ predictions for the game.
James Ray
“Blackburn Rovers have performed better at home than away this season, despite a lack of consistency overall. This gives them a chance to win against Coventry City, who can be defeated.
“The Sky Blues are still looking to make progress under Lampard, and they’ve already demonstrated that they can charge up the table late on. I just don’t see it happening this season, despite a promising start to his term.
“I’d be happy to be proven incorrect, of course, but I believe this game is a good indication of how much work is needed to get them back to their recent playoff-pushing level.
