Blackburn vs Derby County Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar in Championship Predictions
The new Championship season gets underway with newly promoted Derby County visiting the Blackburn Rovers on matchday one. This match will be played at Ewood Park in Lancashire on Friday night, and the prediction is for both teams to score a flurry of goals.
The Rovers finished last season in 19th place with 53 points in their kitty and only three above the relegation zone. Derby are back in the Championship after finishing second in League One last year with 92 points, five behind eventual winners Portsmouth. Blackburn had an indifferent pre-season in the friends, winning and drawing two matches. They scored in each of those matches, but in the last three, they scored exactly one goal.
The home fans will be aware of how their team faltered at this venue last season. In fact, they ended last campaign with no wins in their last seven home league games, drawing five and losing two. That may give some hope for Derby to start their lives back in the championship in a positive way.
The Rams achieved promotion by finishing second in League One last year, and they were five points behind leaders Portsmouth and five behind third-placed Bolton. It must be noted that Derby didn't have a good pre-season, as they lost four of their last five friends coming into this fixture. The lone bright spot is that their lone win has come in their last friendly match.
