Blackburn vs Preston North End Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Sridhar in Championship Predictions
Matchday 30 of the EFL Championship on Friday sees the struggling Blackburn Rovers host Preston North End at Ewood Park. This match sees the 7th-placed Rovers host the 15th-placed Lilywhites, and our prediction is at least one point for the visitors.
Blackburn has 42 points and is two behind the top six spots, while Preston has 37 points and is stuck in the mid-table. The Rovers seem to have lost a bit of steam in the recent weeks, winning just once across their last nine league matches. This sequence saw them lose six matches, including three in a row.
The Rovers lost 2-1 away at Bristol City last weekend and have also lost 2-0 in their last home match against Coventry. Three defeats from the last four home league games put Blackburn in a tight spot.
Preston won 2-1 at home against Middlesbrough last weekend, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. They have, in fact, won four and drawn two of their last seven league games, giving them a good chance of pushing for a top-ten place.
Their away form needs a tweak, though, as they could win just twice all season long in 14 away league games. They did draw six of those matches, however, and are proving to be a tough team to beat.
