Chelsea vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

• Chelsea have only won by two clear goals in one of their last 16 competitive home games.
• Blackburn have only lost by more than one goal in one of their eight away games this season.

Chelsea struggles continue

Chelsea fell to another humbling defeat at home to Brentford on Saturday and they could face another setback when they host Championship outfit Blackburn in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

The Blues have won just three of their eight home games in all competitions this season and only one of those – a 3-0 win over Luton – has been a particularly convincing victory.

Rovers can push Blues hard

The visiting Blackburn are in a decent spell of form heading into this game, too. They have won three of their last four games and each of their last two away from home. Obviously Chelsea represents a significant step up in quality, but Rovers could keep things respectable at Stamford Bridge.

The visitors have only lost by more than a single goal twice in their last ten games and both of those came at Ewood Park. Away from home just one of their eight matches has seen a heavy defeat, while Chelsea have won by more than one goal in just one of their last 16 home games in all competitions.

Backing Blackburn in the +2 handicap market appeals for these reasons, while a 1-1 correct score prediction looks solid, too.
