Blackburn Rovers vs Norwich Prediction and Odds on 30 August 2025

Blackburn will take on Norwich in the fourth round of the EFL Championship at Ewood Park, with both teams aiming for their second championship victory. Blackburn is fresh off a masterclass against Hull City, where they secured a 0-3 victory. Norwich, on the other hand, has failed to secure a win in their last two league games, with their only win being against Portsmouth in their championship opener. Their last three meetings ended in draws, and this game might also end with the same result. We believe both teams will score. Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Blackburn Rovers: Forms and Statistics

Form in the Championship: WLL

Blackburn Rovers had a very rough start to the season with two consecutive losses in their first two league games. Their inaugural game was against West Brom, and it ended in a 1-0 defeat with Price scoring for West Brom in the 15th minute. Their second league game was against Birmingham. Blackburn scored first in the 50th minute, but Birmingham equalized and won the game in the last nine minutes of the game with two goals scored in the 90th and 98th minutes respectively. This defeat was a blow to Blackburn. 

They found their footing in their last league game against Hull, where they annihilated Hull by 3 goals to nil. Hedges scored first in the 18th minute, followed by Ohashi’s goal in the 47th minute, before Cantwell sealed the win with the last goal of the game just three minutes after Ohashi’s goal. The team has been playing really well since the start of the Championship, but they’ve been rather unlucky in their previous games.

Ismael’s formation is really good, and they’ve created lots of chances in their last three games, with emphasis on their last league game against Hull. 

Player to watch out for - Todd Cantwell

Todd Cantwell is the team's top scorer this season with two goals to his name so far. He has an average of one goal per game, and he might get on the scoresheet for Blackburn on Saturday.

Their second game was a cracker; Norwich scored two goals in the first 14 minutes, and it wasn’t until the 84th minute that Portsmouth equalized, and the game ended in a 1-2 victory to Norwich. Their third game against Middlesbrough was more of a disaster, with Middlesbrough scoring two goals in the first half and Norwich scoring in the 85th minute.
