Blackburn Rovers Preview – Will Mowbray’s men pick up a crucial three points?
Blackburn Rovers have had a topsy-turvy season up until now. They made an average start before an outstanding run fired them into top-two contention. However, they have struggled for consistency since the turn of the year and have slipped out of the top six.
In 2022, Blackburn have won just four times in the Championship. Worryingly for Tony Mowbray, his troops have suffered seven defeats. Since a 3-1 win over Derby County at Ewood Park in mid-March, Rovers have taken just one point from a possible six.
One win in six games is not the kind of form Blackburn are looking for right now as they hunt down a play-off berth. Can they get back to winning ways with a crucial three points on Saturday?
Blackpool Preview – Can the Tangerines avoid a trio of defeats?
Blackpool have had a fine first season back in the Championship. The Tangerines booked their place in the second tier via the EFL League One play-off route last term. They have looked in no danger of going back down.
The Seasiders have picked up a respectable 52 points from 39 games. Neil Critchley’s side have won 14, drawn ten and lost 15. However, after winning three and drawing one of four, Pool have fallen to disappointing back-to-back defeats to Nottingham Forest and Preston North End.
