Blackburn Rovers Preview – Will the Blue and Whites secure first win in three?
Tony Mowbray’s Blackburn Rovers have won two, drawn two and lost one of their opening five Championship matches. They are currently in tenth spot with eight points to their name.
Rovers were quick out of the blocks this season, winning two and drawing one of their opening three matches. They beat Swansea City 2-1 at home before drawing 1-1 at Millwall. In game three, Blackburn beat Nottingham Forest 2-1. However, they have taken just one point since, losing at home to West Bromwich Albion, and drawing 1-1 at Middlesbrough.
Like many teams in this season’s Championship, Blackburn will be aiming for the play-offs. They have a solid squad of players and an experienced manager. Can they move on to 11 points with victory on home turf at the weekend?
Luton Town Preview – Can the Hatters return to winning ways?
Luton Town were one of the surprise packages in the Championship last term, finishing in 12th place with 62 points to their name. They continued from where they left off, beating Peterborough United 3-0 on the opening weekend of this season.
After a narrow 3-2 loss at The Hawthorns, the Hatters bounced back with an impressive 1-0 win at Barnsley on matchday three. However, they have also taken just one point from their past two, losing 5-0 at home to Birmingham City, and drawing 0-0 with Sheffield United at Kenilworth Road.

Another mid-table finish will be a great achievement for the Bedfordshire club, but Jones’ troops may be aiming a little higher this season. They would send a real signal of intent with three points at Ewood Park on Saturday.
Blackburn Rovers vs Luton Town Betting Advice
Both meetings last season were tight affairs. At Kenilworth Road in November, the pair drew 1-1, with Sam Gallagher cancelling out Luke Berry’s goal. Adam Armstrong was the hero in the match at Ewood Park, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 Rovers win.
Before last season, Luton had won the previous five league meetings. Rovers’ victory in January was their first over the Hatters in league action since September 1980.
Key Facts – Blackburn Rovers vs Luton Town Betting Tip
- Both teams have won twice in the league this season
- Blackburn picked up a narrow 1-0 win when they last met
- Rovers have lost two in a row at home
This intriguing Championship clash could go either way on Saturday. Rovers are the favourites on home soil, but Luton will be no pushovers. With that in mind, we fancy the draw and both teams to score at 7/2.
With Adam Armstrong moving on, Blackburn now have to look elsewhere for goals. Sam Gallagher has made a decent start, netting against Swansea and Middlesbrough so far. You can get 2/1 for Gallagher to score anytime in this one.
