Blackburn Rovers vs Luton Predictions

• Blackburn’s only league defeat thus far came against joint leaders and promotion fancies WBA (W2, D2).
• Luton lost 5-0 to Birmingham on their penultimate start, before a goalless stalemate against second bottom Sheffield United before the international break.
• Both teams have scored each of Blackburn’s five league games this term and in three of the last four meetings.

Rovers a huge price to beat The Hatters

Blackburn Rovers have done very little wrong so far this season and they can get the better of a lacklustre Luton outfit at Ewood Park.

Rovers sit on the fringes of the Play-Off places in 10th after collecting eight points from their opening five matches, but that looks an extremely encouraging return based on their fixtures to date.

Tony Mowbray’s men have only been beaten by current joint leaders WBA so far, and they ran The Baggies pretty close here in a 1-2 reverse.

Aside from that narrow loss, Rovers have sealed 2-1 victories over Nottingham Forest and Swansea, and battled gamely to secure 1-1 draws at Middlesbrough and Millwall.

Blackburn’s performances in the opening exchanges of the campaign certainly indicate that they can finally mount a top six challenge under Mowbray this term, and the 6/5 for a home win this Saturday looks huge.

Luton won two of their first three games, but they were dreadful when suffering a 5-0 mauling at the hands of Birmingham City on their penultimate start, before a goalless draw against second bottom Sheffield United last time out.

So, while only a point currently separates the two sides, it’s Rovers who definitely appear to be on an upward curve. Saturday’s hosts have to be supported at a generous odds-against, and we’re also forecasting a 3-1 correct score, as both teams have registered in each of Blackburn’s league matches this term.
