Blackburn Rovers vs Preston Predictions

• Just three of Blackburn’s last 14 games have featured more than two goals
• Only West Brom have drawn more games than Preston’s 13 in the Championship this season.
• Only two of Preston’s last 14 league matches have been settled by a margin greater than one goal

Rovers in danger of losing ground

There are a whole host of Championship teams who look set to battle it out for two playoff places in the next few months, and Blackburn have lost much of initiative in the chase after three straight defeats.

The 3-0 win over Portsmouth has been Rovers’ only success in their last nine league games, but it is questionable whether Preston will have enough to leave Ewood Park with the points even though North End appear to be trending in the opposite direction.

Lilywhites not great on the road

The Lilywhites have pushed up to 15th in what is always a highly competitive division and make the short trip with their confidence boosted by successive victories over Watford and Middlesbrough.

However, that victory at Vicarage Road, which came courtesy of two goals from Milutin Osmajic, was only their second win in 19 Championship away games.

They have drawn five of their last ten matches on the road and have finished level in 13 of their 29 games this term, so another stalemate would not be a surprise.

With Rovers’ games tending to feature few goals, correct-score punters may be pointed to a 1-1 final result.
