Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can Blackburn produce a response?
Saturday’s hosts, Blackburn Rovers, will be looking to set the record straight at Ewood Park when they play host to Championship leaders, Leeds United, following three defeats from their last four matches which has resulted in Rovers dropping down to 10th place.
Although Blackburn are still just five points adrift of 6th placed Cardiff City, Rovers’ hopes of achieving a top six finish and a place in play-offs appear to be dwindling fast following recent losses to Derby County before the lockdown and back-to-back losses after the resumption to Wigan Athletic and Barnsley respectively.
However, it should be noted that these two defeats were both handed to Blackburn away from home, while at Ewood Park, the hosts have suffered just one defeat out of their last 15 matches, so they’ll be confident that they can spark a response this Saturday.
11 of Blackburn’s 20 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
Leeds United Preview – Can Leeds maintain top spot?
Leeds United hold a slender one-point lead over 2nd placed West Brom after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at home by lowly Luton Town at Elland Road on Tuesday night, and they now face a potentially tricky looking fixture away from home at Blackburn Rovers this Saturday.
The Championship leaders have lost just one of their last nine matches under manager, Marcelo Bielsa, as the Yorkshire outfit continue their march towards automatic promotion back to the Premier League, but results away from home have been less than impressive.
The visitors have captured just two wins from their last seven matches on their travels with victories at Championship strugglers, Middlesbrough and Hull City but have also fallen to losses at QPR, Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City within this seven-match period too, so they’re by no means guaranteed of all three points here.
