Command Analysis
Blackburn Rovers
EnglandCurrent form
Blackburn have been playing in the Championship for a long time and are planning to finally return to the Premier League. For now, the team is in fifth place in the league table, which allows them to fight for promotion in the playoff matches. However, the hosts are only one point ahead of Watford in eighth place and can drop to the middle of the table at any moment. The team is entering 2025 with some difficulty. In four Championship matches, they managed to win only one victory - Portsmouth (3:0) from the relegation zone was beaten. At the same time, they managed to go further in the FA Cup, beating Middlesbrough away (1:0).

Carter, Ohashi, Pickering, Travis and Wharton will miss the fight due to injuries.

Coventry City
EnglandCurrent form
Coventry did not start the season in the best way and spent a long time in the relegation zone. Thanks to the change of coach, the club managed to rise to 14th place. The new helmsman is the legendary midfielder Frank Lampard. In the last six matches, the team suffered only one defeat, losing to Norwich on January 4 (1:2). In the last round, the team from Coventry managed to win at home against Bristol City (1:0). In the FA Cup, the team managed to knock Sheffield Wednesday out of the tournament, winning in a penalty shootout.

1.62Tip and bets
The hosts are having a great season, but the team is not in the best shape and rarely achieves success. They managed to beat only the obvious outsider Portsmouth. At the same time, Coventry is now on the rise and almost never loses in the Championship, climbing up the standings. The visitors have gained confidence and are able to continue to achieve positive results.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Coventry for 1.90
Bet on total
The opponents play carefully at their goal and lately rarely concede more than one goal per match. It is unlikely that any of the opponents will take a lot of risks in this match, so you should not count on high scoring. Most likely, the teams will stop at two goals scored.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.70
Bet on the first half
We don't expect the opponents to go forward in force immediately after the starting whistle. It will obviously take time to get to know each other. In this scenario, a draw at the end of the first half is likely.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 1.95
