There is not much in it in terms of betting odds for Coventry City's FA Cup Fifth Round Replay against Blackburn Rovers tomorrow night at the Ricoh Arena.
Bookies BET365 have the Sky Blues at 7/4 to win with Blackburn 11/8 . You can get 11/5 on a draw.
This is the 36th meeting of the two sides with Coventry having won 16 of those games. There has been six draws. City have scored 54 goals compared to Blackburn's 45.
This is the first time in four meetings in the FA Cup that City have played Blackburn at home and only the tenth time since the end of the the second World War, that City have had a home replay. They have lost only two home replays in that period - Bristol City in 2007 was the last.
Since 1907, Coventry have played 211 FA Cup ties winning 85, drawing 44 and losing 82, City have scored 334 and let in 311 goals.
