Blackburn Rovers currently sit in the Championship play-off places, but Coventry City can move within three points with a game in hand if they take all three points at home this weekend.
The Coventry Building Society Arena has been a tricky ground for visiting teams this season with only 19 conceded in 20 home league matches and with Rovers hoping to end a streak of seven away trips without a goal, BoyleSports have made the Sky Blues 11/10 favourites to get back to winning ways after the 1-1 draw with Derby County before the international break.
Matt Godden was on the scoresheet that day and he features prominently in the list of likely first goalscorers at 4/1, while a goal at any time for Godden is rated at 6/4. Anyone who fancies Godden to score in a Coventry victory can also take advantage of a price boost to 3/1 from 5/2 currently live on the BoyleSports App.
Godden has two in his last three games and if he finds the net again, he’ll draw level with Viktor Gyokeres in the hot race to finish the season as Coventry’s top goalscorer. With 13 goals and five assists, the Swedish striker is also being well backed to provide the goal threat on Saturday and he shares the favourite tag in the betting to break the deadlock with his teammate at 4/1.
13/2 is now available on Coventry winning both halves and it’s interesting to note that 35 of their 49 league goals this season have been scored in the second half. Eight of Godden’s 12 goals meanwhile have also come after the half-time interval, so it’s no surprise to see him well backed to score the last goal of the game also at 4/1.
