Coventry v Rotherham

Coventry vs Rotherham Preview

Coventry City will be desperate to avoid a third league defeat on the bounce in the Championship after being dealt a second loss on the trot in Friday night's 2-1 loss away from home at West Brom in the midlands derby and the Sky Blues will be keen to make most of home advantage against a poor travelling Rotherham United outfit who have lost their last seven league matches on the trot.

Recent back-to-back losses to Preston NE and West Brom have resulted in Mark Robins' side to drop down to ninth place in the Championship table where the Sky Blues now trail sixth placed Hull City by a five-point margin, thus making this upcoming encounter at home against Rotherham United a ‘must-win game' for the hosts.

Coventry City will still feel upbeat about their chances of returning to winning ways here on Tuesday night as the west midlands club have slipped to just three defeats from their last 16 matches overall whilst picking up eight wins in the process.

Four of these eight wins have been registered on home soil at their CBS Arena courtesy of victories over Birmingham City, Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester City and Millwall respectively and the bigger picture shows Coventry City have been a tough team to beat at home this season as the Sky Blues have lost just twice at home all season to date.

Rotherham United slumped to a seventh league defeat on the trot on Saturday when The Millers lost 1-0 at home to Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday in the basement battle at the bottom of the Championship table and the visitors are now staring almost certain relegation in the face as they trail fourth from bottom club Huddersfield Town by a significant 19-point margin.

All appears lost for Rotherham United who have now lost their last three away games on the trot having been handed defeats at Leeds United, Ipswich Town and QPR while the bigger picture shows The Millers have managed to capture just one win from their previous 23 matches overall in the English second tier which is an extremely poor record indeed.

To make matters worse, Rotherham United are still without an away win so far in this season's Championship campaign and this certainly does not bode well for the Yorkshire club when they take on a Coventry City side in their own backyard who are desperate to return to winning ways.

Coventry City v Rotherham United Verdict

Rotherham United have failed to score in eight of their 17 away games so far this term and given Coventry City's solid form at home this season, it looks like the Sky Blues hold the upper hand in this upcoming clash.

Therefore, our main bet will be BTTS No @ 1.72
