Coventry snatched a last-ditch draw against Blackburn at Elland Road on Wednesday night thanks to Ben Wilson’s 95th-minute equaliser. The result extended their unbeaten run to four matches, but three of those have been draws. The Sky Blues have won 16 league-matches this term and their most recent success came away to Queens Park Rangers (3-0) last weekend courtesy of Viktor Gyokeres’ brace and one goal from Gustavo Hamer. With two of their remaining three games coming against relegation battlers Reading and 16th placed Birmingham City, Mark Robins’s side will be optimistic about taking at least six points and sneak through to the playoff positions at the end of the regular season.
Reading, on the other hand, shared the spoils against Luton courtesy of Andy Carroll’s 51st minute opener. the result extended their winless run to ten games in the English second tier. Noel Hunt’s side need to get maximum points from their remaining thee fixtures to have any chance of avoiding relegation to League One. Meanwhile, only six of their 43 points this term have come away from home, and the Royals’s last success on the road came way back in November last year. On a positive note, Reading secured a narrow 1-0 win over Coventry in the reverse fixture in December.
