Match Result Prediction: Blackburn to Win
Blackburn Rovers have not grabbed a winning run previously but they have been getting through consecutive draws. At home, the Rovers have won two of the last three league outings, ending the remaining one in a tie against Wigan. However, Blackpool has looked desperate in the recent visits as they lost the last four away outings in a row. Blackburn Rovers have also outclassed Blackpool in the home H2Hs by winning three of the recent five hosting duels, losing zero. Hence, we predict the Rovers to continue the winning form and take three points at the end of this attempt.
Both Teams to Score Prediction: No
Blackburn Rovers have been brilliant on the defensive end because they have not conceded a single goal in the previous three home meetings in Championship. Blackpool has also struggled to score string in the away outings previously, failing to score in two of the last three league visits. Furthermore, the Riversiders have also claimed three clean sheets in the previous five home H2Hs against the upcoming rivals, scoring in all of them. Therefore, we expect only the home side to be able to get on the score sheet.
Correct Score Prediction: 1-0 to Blackburn
Blackpool has held a poor defence recently, allowing nine goals in the last four away outings. However, Blackburn Rovers have been unable to earn a huge total of goals, hitting the target four times in the previous four home outings. The Riversiders have also rattled the net only once per game in the previous three H2H meetings against Blackpool. Given this situation, we predict a narrow lead of 1-0 for Blackburn Rovers at the end of ninety minutes in this game.
Blackburn vs Blackpool: Form, Recent Games, and News
Blackburn Rovers Preview
After playing successive four draws, the Rovers succeeded to have the upper hand in the last game with a narrow victory of 1-0 against Swansea. Following this, Blackburn Rovers jumped to the seventh position in the standings, having a total of 15 wins and four draws in 32 matches. There is no fitness or suspension issue in the team before this game.
Defender Daniel Ayala came to their rescue against Swansea and they will want their attacking unit to get them past the line in this meeting. Topscorer Ben Brereton Diaz is still on the treatment table and the pressure will be on his attacking partners to deliver. The Chilean's injury has left a void and fellow attacker Sam Gallagher has scored four fewer goals and also does not participate in their chance creation, laying down only one assist to Diaz's four.
Blackpool Preview
The Seasiders also ended their six-match winless streak in the last game at home with the same victory of 1-0 against Stoke City. But the team has a total of only seven victories and ten draws in the 32 league attempts and stands in the second-last position on the table. Lewis Fiorini and Keshi Anderson will be out of this game due to injury concerns.
While Blackburn are knocking on the playoff positions, Blackburn are fighting for survival in the Championship. They are two points adrift of safety and only have themselves to blame with the joint second-worst defensive output in the league. The attacking unit under Jerry Yates' stewardship has been the only shining light in their cause with 9 goals and 4 assists to his name. Contributions from teammates tail off as partner in crime Gary Madine only has contributed 4 goals and as many assists for Blackpool.
