Blackburn Rovers Preview – Can Rovers win back-to-back?
An unexpected 2-0 win away from home in the nation’s capital on the weekend against Millwall not only handed Blackburn Rovers a valuable three points but it also ended a dismal run of seven matches without success in the Championship.
Blackburn had lost six of their preceding seven matches in the second tier and although they stopped the bleeding with that win at Millwall, Rovers now sit in the bottom half of the Championship in 15th place and time seems to be running out for manager, Tony Mowbray.
Inconsistent results has cost Rovers a challenge for the play-offs while at Ewood Park, the hosts have managed to collect just one win out of their last six matches on home turf which was against Luton Town, and they’ve failed to beat Swansea in each of the previous five meetings.
Swansea City Preview – Can Swans continue promotion charge?
A 2-1 home win over Middlesbrough on the weekend in the Championship saw Swansea City record back-to-back wins and more importantly, keep the pressure upon 2nd placed Watford in the race for automatic promotion.
The Swans are now just a point behind Watford but the visitors have a chance to overhaul their promotion rivals as they make their way to Lancashire for this vital clash against Blackburn Rovers, seeking a seventh win in nine games.
The bigger picture shows that Swansea have lost just two out of their last 14 matches overall in the second tier and the Welsh club have also won four of their last five matches on their travels, so the visitors stand a decent chance of picking up at least a point here.
