Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can the Blue and Whites secure a crucial three points?
Tony Mowbray’s Blackburn Rovers have had an excellent season on the whole, picking up 15 wins from 33 matches. However, they have struggled for form since the turn of the year, winning just two of eight Championship fixtures in 2022.
Blackburn head into this home game having taken just one point from the last 12 on offer. The Blue and Whites suffered a gut-wrenching defeat to promotion rivals Sheffield United on Wednesday, with Ben Davies scoring in injury time to give Paul Heckingbottom’s men a 1-0 win at Bramall Lane.
Blackburn are in danger of slipping out of the top six, but victory on home turf this Saturday would get them right back on track.
Queens Park Rangers Preview – Will the Rs secure first away win in a month?
Queens Park Rangers are enjoying an excellent season under Mark Warburton. The Hoops have spent the majority of the campaign in the top six of the Championship table, and they moved into third with three points in midweek.
Rangers had a little slump in form recently, failing to win in five league and cup matches before Wednesday’s game with Blackpool. It was a tense affair at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium, with Luke Amos netting an 89th-minute winner for the ten-man Rs.
