Blackburn vs Swansea Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship

Prediction published on 19/10/2024, 01:32  by Matthew Newman in Championship Predictions

Blackburn will take on Swansea in Championship action on Saturday afternoon. Rovers sit 8th in the table heading into the weekend while the visiting Swans are in 11th. Three points separate them going into the match as we make our prediction on the outcome. 

The home side have played four games so far at Ewood Park this season, picking up a maximum of 12 points. They are the only side in the Championship who are yet to drop a point on their own turf this season. It is a sequence that they will fancy themselves to continue here.

Two of those wins have come against Oxford and Derby who sandwich Swansea in the league table. They have an impressive +8 goal difference in those four home matches, netting 11 so far and only conceding three. Yuki Ohashi leads the team so far with four goals in the league. 

Swansea have been poor away from the Liberty Stadium so far, with three points gained from a maximum of 12 on offer. They have managed to keep things tight at the back, only shipping four goals but they have been poor going forward with only two goals scored in total.

To make matters worse for the visitors, they will be without Eom Ji-Sung who was injured during the recent international break. He has been a rare spark for the side when in attack so, it is a loss that the team can ill afford to have when they have been so poor in front of goal.
