Preston vs Blackburn Rovers predictions for Tuesday’s Championship fixture at Deepdale. After finally bagging their first home win of the season against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend, can Preston follow-up when they entertain Blackburn in this all Lancashire clash? Read on for all our free Championship predictions and betting tips.
Tuesday night’s Lancashire derby in the Championship looks mightily tough to call and it may pay to back both teams to strike at Deepdale.
For starters, there’s seemingly very little overall to split Preston and Blackburn who sit 12th and 14th respectively in the early standings and results have been extremely inconsistent for both sides.
Preston have won five and lost six of their 12 matches so far and only managed to bank their first home success of the campaign against Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend (1-0) following a miserable run of five straight losses at Deepdale.
Meanwhile, Blackburn are unbeaten in three starts after a 1-1 draw at Luton on Saturday, but that result hardly gives Tony Mowbray’s men compelling claims to grab all three points here and it’s important to acknowledge that Rovers have lost eight of their last 12 on the road.
With neither team fancied, the recommendation is to back both teams to score instead. That’s been the case in seven of the last eight meetings between the pair and both have netted in eight of their 12 Championship matches this season.
The Lilywhites are averaging 1.33 goals per game while Blackburn are scoring at a rate of 1.86 goals per match, so this could be an open encounter when you consider the teams have also conceded 29 goals between them in their 24 combined league starts.
