Blackburn vs Norwich City Prediction: Norwich is currently enduring a winless streak of four league fixtures

On the upcoming Friday, Blackburn will welcome Norwich City to its home ground, as they endeavor to achieve a noteworthy feat of securing a league double over their opponents from Norwich.

Blackburn’s Form

Blackburn's recent record in the league is marred by a tally of three losses out of the last five fixtures, albeit having clinched two victories on their home ground. During the preceding weekend's encounter, Rovers were dealt a 1-0 defeat by the Blues at St Andrew's, as John Eustace's side claimed maximum points courtesy of a 61st-minute goal by former loanee Reda Khadra.

The home team is presently positioned a mere one spot higher than their adversaries in the league standings. As Blackburn enters the final stretch of the season with only eight fixtures remaining, their ambition is to emerge victorious in most of these games.

If Rovers were to secure a triumph, they would gain a considerable advantage of a seven-point lead over the Canaries, with an additional fixture to play. However, a loss would propel David Wagner's contingent within one point of the coveted top-six position, exerting significant pressure on the home team.

Blackburn’s possible lineup

Pears; Rankin-Costello, Carter, Hyam, Pickering; Travis, Morton; Hedges, Szmodics, Dolan; Gallagher.

Norwich City’s Form

Norwich is currently enduring a winless streak of four league fixtures, having failed to find the back of the net on three occasions during this sequence. In their previous league outing, Norwich suffered a 1-0 defeat at home against the second-placed Sheffield United, this past Saturday.

Norwich City defender, Ben Gibson, has acknowledged that time is of the essence for the Canaries in their quest to secure a berth in the Championship play-offs. Nonetheless, he maintains his confidence in the team's ability to achieve this objective.

Presently situated in the seventh spot of the league standings, the Canaries are slated to contest a crucial fixture against Blackburn on Friday, deemed by Gibson as a "six-pointer". With four points adrift of both Rovers and Millwall, who currently occupy the last two play-off positions, Norwich is acutely aware of the significance of securing a positive result in the upcoming fixture.

Norwich City’s lineup

Gunn; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis; Marquinhos, McLean, Sara; Sargent, Pukki, Idah. 

Blackburn vs Norwich expert tips

Blackburn's unbeaten record at their home ground, having secured five wins and a draw in the previous six league fixtures, juxtaposed with Norwich's lacklustre form, having failed to register a win in the last four league games, coupled with Blackburn's earlier victory over Norwich in the FA Cup this season, lead us to predict a triumph for Blackburn in the forthcoming fixture or the game to end in a draw. We anticipate the upcoming fixture to yield less than 2.5 goals.
