Blackburn Rovers vs Huddersfield Predictions

Tony Mowbray’s inconsistent Blackburn side can at least be relied on for a poor run of form. The hosts have failed to win in three, which has led to a slip into the bottom half. Rovers are still expected to beat the drop in their second season back at this level, but will they pick up three points here and rise their ambitions?

Blackburn are favourites going into a clash with one of the league’s bottom three. However, the hosts have a pretty mixed record at Ewood Park backing them up. They’ve won just one of their last four league games at this ground going into the meeting with Huddersfield, so could this open up an opportunity for the visitors?

Huddersfield have had their problems this term, with seven defeats in 11 leaving them battling the drop. However, they are currently looking at moving  up the table, with the arrival of the Cowleys bringing renewed optimism to the Terriers. They’ve certainly seen their performances improve, but will that lead to a result in this trip?

Huddersfield are coming here with three away defeats to their name, but they have sparked into life with a three-game unbeaten run under their new boss. That’s included back to back wins after they hammered Hull 3-0 in their last match. With Rovers struggling, Huddersfield’s visit here may have been perfectly timed.

The hosts have taken a point from their last three games, with just two wins from six home games overall. It’s been a tough spell for Rovers, who have been conceding too many goals. That’s bad news against a Huddersfield side who are finding their groove again, especially with the visitors conceding only once in their last three games.

The visitors should be good for the result here, given that Blackburn have had it tough at home this term. Rovers have won just twice in their last seven matches, while Huddersfield are on the up after ending their long winless run of results. We think the improved visitors will come away with the result here, so Huddersfield Double Chance is our pick for this game.

We are also backing a 1-1 draw in this clash, with five of the last six meetings between these two finishing level. Three of the last four have finished 1-1, so we are backing a repeat of that scoreline, since 67% of games here this term have seen fewer than three goals.
