Blackburn Rovers are seventh in the Championship and look for another three points. They are only outside the Championship promotion play-offs on goal difference and host 23rd placed Blackpool. Rovers have 49 points from their 32 league games, despite having a negative goal difference. Blackburn had an important 1-0 home win over Swansea City on Saturday. They were heading for a fifth straight league draw but an 89th minute winner gave them the win, ending a run of five games without a victory. That kept up their good recent home league form with seven points out of nine and three clean sheets. Ten out of 15 home games in the Championship have been won this season, that's compared to five wins and nine losses on the road. Improving that away form is needed if they want to secure a promotion play-off place.
For Blackpool, it's a case of avoiding a return to League One. They only have Wigan Athletic below them (on goal difference) and are two points from safety. Saturday also saw Blackpool win as they defeated Stoke City 1-0 at home. That was a much needed victory and took them off the bottom of the Championship. 14 league games had been played since their last victory in late October. Only nine points have been earned from their last 15 league matches. Away form has seen them win three league fixtures but eight have been lost. They have only two points from their last seven on the road with only one goal scored in the last three. The reverse fixture was played in August with Rovers getting a 1-0 win. Back Blackburn to get a win here with a side bet on it being to nil.
