EFL Championship

Blackburn has lost their last three matches, while Preston remains unbeaten in their last five. At home, Rovers average just one goal per game, whereas Preston scores 1.2 goals per match on the road. Additionally, Blackburn has failed to beat Preston in their last five meetings.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn has been pushing for a return to the Premier League in recent years but has repeatedly faltered in the final stages of the season. This campaign, Rovers have been competitive once again, currently sitting just outside the playoff zone in seventh place.

While the team plays an attractive brand of football, they struggle with consistency and suffer more defeats than their direct rivals. Their recent form has been concerning, with three consecutive losses allowing Middlesbrough and West Bromwich to move ahead of them.

Preston

Preston, on the other hand, has been a steady presence in the Championship but lacks the ambition or resources to challenge for promotion. The club has yet to make a serious push for the Premier League, consistently finishing in mid-table.

This season, Preston has been the league’s draw specialists, sharing the points in 13 matches so far. However, their recent run has been solid, picking up eight points from their last four games, which has helped them climb to 14th place in the standings.

Prediction

Despite their opponent's solid form, Rovers should be motivated to break their losing streak. I believe the hosts have a strong chance of winning this game, so my pick is a home win with a 0 handicap at odds of 1.5.
