Preston vs Blackburn Rovers Predictions

• Three of the last five head-to-heads have been a draw
• Both teams have scored in six of the last seven meetings between these two
• There has been fewer than three goals in ten of Blackburn’s last 12 Championship away games

Preston on the up

Preston and Blackburn have had sharply contrasting seasons but the pair may have to settle for a stalemate when they meet in the latest chapter of this storied rivalry.

Three of the last five meetings between these two have ended as a draw and with the stakes for both teams it may pay to side with another.

Preston have been flying high in the Championship this season, they are currently fourth after losing just three of their 15 league games. However they have played out five draws in that run and as a team that are not particularly high-scoring they do run that risk.

Stalemate on the cards

Blackburn had won three on the spin before a disheartening 2-1 defeat against Derby last time out so they will be desperate for a statement win over their rivals to continue to pull away from danger.

However these two rivals have been difficult to split, particularly at Deepdale where the last three head-to-heads have all ended in a draw, and this one looks set to be no different.

Both teams have scored in six of the last seven meetings between the pair and Preston drew 1-1 with Millwall last time out, a repeat of that scoreline looks a solid correct score selection.
