Blackburn Rovers vs Rotherham Prediction: Blackburn has not lost to Rotherham since 2017

Blackburn is ready to welcome Rotherham on Saturday at Ewood Park. Rovers have won seven of their last eight home league games against Rotherham. Would Rotherham be able to break Blackburn’s winning streak?

At home, this season they managed (W4 L2) to win on 4 occasions out of 6. Rovers won two games in a row against Millwall (2-1) and Watford (2-0) recently. This is their solid comeback after losing two consecutive games at home against Bristol (2-3) and Stoke City (0-1). In their six home games, they scored 9 goals against their visitors and conceded 6 in return.

Blackburn's away performance this season (L4 W2) is below average. They just lost their 4th away game of the season against Cardiff (0-1) in the previous game.

With 18 points in 12 games, Blackburn is sitting in the 6th position. They have netted 13 goals so far this season and conceded 15 in return. Ben Brereton is the team’s top scorer with 5 goals followed by Lewis Travis (2) and Tyrhys Dolan (2) respectively 2nd and 3rd positions. 

Kaminski; Brittain, Hyam, Ayala, Pickering; Buckley, Travis; Hedges, Szmodics, Brereton; Dolan.

At away, Rotherham didn't have any success (D3 L1) so far this season. They lost their only away game against Sunderland (0-3) this season. In their 4 away games, they scored just one goal against their hosts and conceded 4 in return.

Rotherham's performance at home (W3 L1 D2) is a bit better than away as they managed to win three out of six games. With 17 points in 10 games, Rotherham is sitting in the 9th position. They have netted 13 goals so far this season and conceded 8 in return.

Richard Wood is the team’s top scorer with 4 goals followed by Chiedozie Ogbene (4) and Was Harding (1) respectively 2nd and 3rd positions.  

Johansson; Hall, Wood, Harding; Norton-Cuffy; Wiles, Barlaser, Rathbone, Bramall; Ogbene, Washington.

Blackburn didn’t lose a single home game (W2 D1) against Rotherham since 2017. The current situation of Rotherham is also indicating that history could repeat itself. We are also favoring Blackburn to win the match. In this match, we can expect less than 2.5 goals because historically teams have scored 2 goals in a face-off.
