Blackburn Rovers vs Stoke City Match Analysis & Prediction
06/11/2024 10:45 pm
Looking to halt a three-game winless run, Blackburn Rovers play host to Stoke City at Ewood Park for a Championship match on Wednesday night.
Rovers suffered defeat at the hands of promotion-chasing Sheffield United last time out, while the Potters secured a home victory over a newly-promoted club.
Since the narrow 1-0 victory over Swansea City at Ewood Park on October 19, Blackburn have failed to win any of their three Championship matches against West Bromwich Albion, Watford and Sheffield United, leaving them looking nervously over their shoulder in the standings.
Chris Wilder’s side were the visitors to Ewood Park on Saturday and managed to escape back to Yorkshire possessing maximum points for their considerable efforts, with goals either side of the halftime break from Harrison Burrows and Tyrese Campbell downing Rovers.
After collecting just a single point from their last three Championship matches as the harsh winter months approach, Rovers have dropped out of the playoffs and down to eighth position in the league table, two points back from West Brom in sixth place.
The weekend’s defeat to Sheffield United was Blackburn’s first league loss of the campaign at Ewood Park across seven matches, with John Eustace’s side securing 16 points from seven matches at the venue so far – a tally that only Leeds United, Sunderland, Watford and the aforementioned Sheffield can match.
After navigating the majority of their October schedule without a win, Stoke City commenced their November calendar on a positive note at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday, when newly-promoted Derby County visited Staffordshire and return to the East Midlands empty-handed.
It looked as if Derby were set to secure a hard-fought point for their efforts in the Potteries, when an own goal from Viktor Johansson cancelled out Tom Cannon’s first-half penalty, but Stoke managed to earn three points through an 82nd-minute strike from defender Ben Gibson.
Ending a four-game winless run in the Championship with that win over the Rams at the weekend, the Potters moved themselves up to 16th in the standings, three points ahead of 22nd-placed Plymouth Argyle and six points behind West Brom in the lowest of the playoff spots.
