Blackburn Rovers host Coventry City in a bid to stay within the play-off spots on Tuesday evening (19:45 GMT).

Rovers conceded a loss to a buoyant Oxford United last time out, while the Sky Blues beat Bristol City to see themselves edge further away from relegation danger.

Coventry striker Brandon Thomas-Asante was the one to deliver the winner in their victory over the Robins and the Ghana international also has fond memories against their weeknight opponents.

  • Blackburn Rovers are winless across their last eight league games against Coventry City (D5 L3), failing to score in each of their last three matches against the Sky Blues.

  • After winning the reverse league fixture 3-0 in October, Coventry City are looking to complete a league double over Blackburn Rovers for the first time since the 1966-67 season.

  • Each of Blackburn's last six home league wins have seen them keep a clean sheet, while 11 of their last 12 league games at Ewood Park have seen at least one side keep a clean sheet.

  • After winning their first away league game under Frank Lampard at Millwall in December, Coventry are winless in their last four away league matches (D1 L3).

  • Coventry's Brandon Thomas-Asante has scored three goals in his last two league games against Blackburn, though failed to score in his only league game against Rovers at Ewood Park in August 2023.
